Chef Paul’s recipe for Chicken and Andouille Sausage Gumbo may be found here. The recipe references several of his proprietary spice blends – I recommend you make your own version.
And if you’re in the mood for seafood in your gumbo instead, try Chef John Besh’s version with blue shell crabs, shrimp and other delights. Here’s the recipe. There’s a long ingredient list and shortcuts would be counterproductive, as it’s the careful layering of flavors that makes gumbo worth waiting for.
Let’s wrap things up with a Gumbo Playlist featuring good-time music from the Big Easy. Laissez les bon temps roulez!
