In Today’s video I am making (yes, really) gumbo, a curious West African-inspired dish, associated with Lousiana and Mardi Gras. Watch until the end to get my verdict on this American dish.

Filé powder is an absolute must with gumbo.
When you left both the roux AND the sausages while they were cooking, I wasn't expecting much success. (It's not that I don't sympathize about the time consumption. I made risotto from scratch once—once—and the stirring was excessive to say the least.) To my surprise, that looks like very decent gumbo. Well done.
I've made this dish before. However I found that I don't like Okra. So now when I make it, I skip it.
It does look good especially since you left the Okra out.
I use lard, not oil for rouge
Okra is terrible. There, I said it.
Just 2 tlbs fat to preheated pan. Then andoulli saug. . Can't believe burnt meat didn't ruin yours. I do not like charcoal flavour🤢
It's amazing how you walk the dog for an hour, and you come back to a perfect roux!
Gumbo doesn't come from West Africa. It comes from French Bouillabaisse
No, No, NO! dont use nasty "canola" oil for anything! it is one of the Most unhealthy oils, according to ALL the latest research, to ever exist! way better off using butter, or tallow, or coconut oil!!! DOH!
Next time make a dry roux. Basically bake the flour, storing it every fifteen minutes or so until it looks like powdered cocoa.
Might be good but no okra or file? Ain't gumbo.
Try Etouffe and Jambalaya they are even better. You can buy premade Roux – Kary's is pretty good. Southern Living has some excellent recipes that are very easy to make as well
Gumbo is basically a Stew…great stuff if made right.
For next time, perhapsy you'd like to consider an automatic pot stirrer. I thought I'd seen one somewhere and just Googled it. They do exist.
Cajun/Creole cooking is from Canada
Like most southern dishes, it is highly overrated. Try the collared greens, if you dare.
File' gumbo in the song Jambalaya !Hank Williams,Sr. !
Looks great! Good Job!
Silly boy, just buy your roux in a pint jar at Wal Mart. And you used way too much roux which thickened it into a stew, not gumbo.
You can free Gumbo without the rice.
You thought we wouldn't notice you skip the okra. You cheeky Brit
