With horror many cooks read the words "first make a roux". Here is a method to take the fear of making a roux away. The recipe is taken from "Quelque Chose Piquante" a Cajun cookbook from Baton Rouge, LA first published in 1966.

This makes a lovely brown roux. It makes a lot, but it will freeze. I divide it up and always have a roux ready and waiting for gumbo or anything else. Freeze in small amounts.
