Time 3h50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 (3 1/2-pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
2 ribs celery, roughly chopped
3 carrots, roughly chopped
2 onions, roughly chopped
2 bay leaves
Bouquet garni
5 quarts water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 onions, chopped finely
2 green peppers, chopped finely
3 ribs celery, chopped finely
1 pound andouille or other spicy pork sausage, thinly sliced
2 cups peeled, chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon double concentrate tomato paste
2 1/2 quarts chicken stock
1 pound fresh or 20 ounces frozen okra, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
Hot pepper sauce and cayenne pepper
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon gumbo file powder
Chopped parsley, for garnish
3 pieces scallion, julienned into 2-inch pieces, for garnish

Steps:

  • To make chicken stock, place all ingredients into 8-quart stockpot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, skimming impurities off the top. Remove chicken pieces. Allow chicken to cool, remove meat from bones, and then return bones to stock. Reserve chicken meat for the gumbo. Continue to simmer stock for additional 2 1/2 hours.
  • To make gumbo, begin by heating oil in a large pot (preferably an enameled cast iron or other heavy-bottomed pot) and cooking garlic, onions, peppers, and celery until soft and translucent. Add sausage, tomatoes, tomato paste, and stock. Bring to boil, reduce to simmer and add okra and reserved cooked chicken meat. Season with hot pepper sauce, cayenne, salt, pepper, and file. Simmer for 1 hour until flavors meld together. Stir in chopped parsley. Serve over hot rice and garnish with julienned scallions.

FRIED CHICKEN AND ANDOUILLE-FILE GUMBO



Fried Chicken and Andouille-File Gumbo image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     one pot, soups and stews, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 - 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 4-pound chicken, cut up, at room temperature
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 pound spicy andouille or chorizo sausage, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1/4 pound tasso ham, with or without spicy rind, or plain cooked ham, diced
1 large onion, peeled and chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
3 stalks celery, diced
6 scallions, green and white portions, sliced
3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
2/3 cup chopped Italian parsley
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 large bay leaves
1 1/2 to 2 quarts water
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Cayenne pepper or Tabasco sauce to taste
2 tablespoons file powder
2 cups white rice

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a heavy 5-quart pot over medium heat. Add the chicken and brown on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
  • Make a roux by blending the flour into the oil in the pot and stirring constantly with a long-handled spoon until the mixture is a deep coffee brown. Add the sausage, ham, onion, green pepper and celery. Saute, stirring, for about 10 minutes. Add the browned chicken, scallions, garlic, parsley, thyme, bay leaves and enough water to cover, stirring to incorporate the roux into the liquid.
  • Stir in salt and pepper and simmer the soup slowly, partly covered, until the chicken is tender, about 1 hour. If you are using the very spicy rind of tasso ham, you will probably not need cayenne or Tabasco. Otherwise, add either toward the end of cooking.
  • Take out the chicken and set aside just until cool enough to handle. Pull off the skin and bones and return the chicken to the soup in large pieces. Adjust seasoning if needed. The soup can be prepared in advance up to this point and stored, covered, in the refrigerator for 2 days. Skim fat from soup.
  • Bring the soup to a simmer. Five minutes before serving, remove from heat and stir in the file powder. Cover and let stand for about 5 minutes. Do not boil the soup after the file has been added. Mound rice in soup plates and ladle the gumbo over.

1 lb andouille sausage, sliced in half lengthwise, then cut into 1/3-inch pieces
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 (4 lb) whole chickens, cut into 8 pieces
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 large onion, coarsely chopper
3 stalks celery, coarsely chopped
1 cup chopped green bell pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a medium, heavy duty skillet over medium-high heat. Add andouille sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer sausage to a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup water to skillet and scrape bottom to release any browned bits. Set this liquid aside.

Add onion, stirring constantly until roux becomes the color of milk chocolate, 2-3 minutes. Add celery, bell pepper, and garlic, and cook, stirring often, until vegetables are softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, 1 qt of water, the reserve sausage liquid, and the andouille, chicken, bay leaves, and thyme.
  • Bring to boil, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered until chicken is falling off the bone, about 45 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken pieces to a plate and allow to cool. Once cooled, remove skin and bones from chicken, pull meat into bite size pieces and return to gumbo. Season to taste with salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve in large bowls over 1/4 cup of hot cooked rice per serving. Add scallions and hot sauce to taste. Pass file at the table for everyone to add to taste.

2 tablespoons unsalted butter (fat doesn't count as an ingredient!)
6 small or 4 large New Orleans-style or andouille sausage links, sliced into 3/4-inch ovals (rounds on the bias)
1 cup frozen chopped fire-roasted peppers and onion blend, thawed
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon tomato paste

Your favorite hot sauce (but I prefer Crystal's here), for serving

Steps:

  • In a large pot on medium heat, add the butter and sausage. Cook, stirring, until color and a light crust forms on most sides of the sausage, about 5 minutes. Add the pepper and onion blend and tomato paste and cook, stirring, until the bright red of the paste becomes a muted reddish brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the Cajun seasoning blend and cook it the same way as the tomato paste, ensuring the spices bloom and become fragrant. Add the stock, bring to a simmer and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
12 ounces andouille sausage, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dredging
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 chicken thighs
2 medium onions, sliced
2 red or green bell peppers, stemmed, seeded and cut into strips

Steps:

  • Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and much of the fat is rendered. Remove the sausage to plate with a slotted spoon.

  • Strip the leaves from the thyme into the Dutch oven, and stir in the bay leaves, red pepper flakes, and 6 cups broth. Crush the tomatoes through your hands into the pot. Return the chicken and sausage to the pot, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, uncovered, 25 to 30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Stir in some additional chicken stock to thin the sauce a bit, if desired.
  • Stir in the vinegar, scallions, and parsley, taste, and adjust the seasoning.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds andouille sausage, cut into 1-inch pieces
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 medium onions, chopped
3 green bell peppers, stemmed, seeded and chopped
4 ribs celery, chopped
Kosher salt
1 pound fresh or frozen okra, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
10 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
One 28-ounce can whole peeled plum tomatoes, crushed by hand
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup packed fresh parsley leaves, chopped
Steamed white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup of the oil and the sausage, and cook, stirring, until it has browned and much of the fat has rendered, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a plate with a slotted spoon; set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1/2 cup oil, and heat. Add the flour, and cook, stirring constantly, until light golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add the onions, peppers, celery and 2 teaspoons salt, and cook, partially covered, lifting the lid to stir occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes (add a splash of water or broth if the mixture begins to stick to the bottom of the pot). Add the okra, garlic, thyme, bay leaves and crushed red peppers, and cook, stirring, until the okra begins to soften, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the chicken broth, tomatoes and reserved sausage, and bring to a high simmer. Adjust the heat to maintain a low simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, to heat through the soup and let the flavors meld, about 20 minutes. If you want the soup thinner, add a little more chicken broth or water. Stir in the vinegar, scallions and parsley, and add salt to taste.
  • Let the soup cool to room temperature, then divide it among four 1-quart containers and freeze for up to 1 month.
  • To reheat: Let the soup thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Bring it to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until heated through. Thin it with a little water if desired, and adjust the seasoning with salt. Serve with steamed white rice.
