Aw thats creole style.:barf:
It amazes me how many people think tomato goes into gumbo...
Roux: I use equal amounts (1/4 cup) of white flour and and butter or bacon grease. Brown in a cast iron grill until fudge colored STIRRING CONSTANTLY. Once at the desired nutty flavored brownness add the chopped veggies (onions and bell pepper) cook til wilted
add water, red wine (personal preference), squirrel quarters(pick the bones while you eat it!), pan fried sliced andoullie, okra, file (ground sassafrass), and a bunch of other cajun seasonings......
let simmer until thick and meat is tender
