Louisiana Gumbo Stew

Pour oil into a thick-bottomed saucepan.

Add flour and roast on low heat, stirring constantly. It should have the consistency of sandy dough and a chocolate color. This will take 30-45 minutes. You can add butter or flour to achieve the desired result.

Fry the sausage slices in a pan on each side until brown.

In the same pan with the remaining fat from the sausage, fry the onion and celery.

Add garlic at the very end of frying so it doesn't burn.

Cook the rice until ready for 20-25 minutes.

Pour the broth into the soup pot, add the roux (flour mixture), and mix well.

Add chopped vegetables, bring to a boil, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft.

Mix in the spices, then add sausage, chicken meat, shrimp, chopped parsley, and green onions. Taste and add salt and pepper to your liking.

Serve the gumbo warm, pouring it over cooked rice.
