Malissa & Lew's Easy Like Sunday Gumbo

Melt 75g butter in a large pan

add 75g plain flour and stir to make a roux

once the roux is a lovely caramel colour add the chopped celery, onion and peppers and give them a good stir round for a few minutes.

add the chicken stock and stir thoroughly making sure you have all the roux from the bottom of the pan and it's not sticking.

once the sausages and chicken are cooked, removed from the oven, roughly chop and add them to the stock, bring to the boil and then leave to simmer for 20 minutes, stirring to make sure the gumbo isn't stick whilst it thickens.

Add the Okra and cook for another 30 minutes, until all the 'ropiness' has gone from the Okra

Check the flavour and add more seasoning if required, I use Mr Rubba Rubba, leave on a low heat and allow the flavours to infuse.

When ready to eat, pop some rice on to boil, crank up the heat of the Gumbo and add your shrimp, and stir them through, they should take around 6 minutes to cook if using raw prawns, add parsley and stir through.

Once rice is cook, drain and place a small mountain of rice in the bowl and top with Gumbo! Apparently this makes it look like a 'Gumbo Volcano' to a 6 year old!
