Ingredients List
- 3 lg Tomatoes
- 2 lg Onions
- 3 Green onions
- 1 Green bell pepper
- 1/2 c Chopped fresh parsley
- 2 lb Okra
- 2 Chickens; 2 1/2 to 3 pounds
- Salt
- Black pepper
- 2 ts Cayenne pepper
- 1 ts White pepper
- Oil; if needed
- 3 c Chicken stock
- 2 tb Oil
- 2 tb White flour
Directions
PREPARATION: Peel and chop the tomatoes. Chop the onions, green onions,
bell pepper, and parsley. Cut the okra into thin slices. Cut chicken into
pieces, and set aside the fat from the cavity. Sprinkle chicken with 1
tablespoon of salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon of the cayenne
pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of the white pepper.
COOKING: Put the reserved fat in a heavy pot and cook over medium heat
until the fat is rendered. Add the chicken and cook until browned. Transfer
to a platter.
Add the okra, onions (not green onion), tomatoes, and bell pepper to the
pan and season to taste with salt and black pepper. Add chicken stock,
cover, and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until tender, about 45
minutes.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a small pan. When oil is very hot, but not smoking,
whisk in the 2 tablespoons of flour, reduce the heat to low, and continue
whisking the roux until it turns a dark chocolate brown color, about 5
minutes. Add the roux to the vegetables and stock and cook, uncovered, 30
minutes.
Add the chicken, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and remaining
cayenne and white peppers and continue to cook, stirring often, until
chicken is tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour more. Stir in the green onion and
parsley and simmer 5 minutes longer.
Gumbo can be made several days ahead and reheated before serving.
