Foodie in the Kitchen Series #9 - Slow Cooker Gumbo

If you're not familiar with Gumbo, its a all-in-one-pot stew that originated in Southern Louisiana, USA. Gumbo consist of a rich stock, meat or some kind of seafood, a thickening agent (roux) and the Holy Trinity, (celery, bell peppers and onions). I found a recipe which allowed me to prepare this in a Cock Pot, this was Memorial Day dinner. Enjoy

This was the end result


The first step is making the Roux, this is Flour and Fat. I used Oilve Oil and Butter


Notice the change in color


This is the color I was looking for, a dark and rich reddish color. You'll have to stir your Roux constantly, failing this step could result in you having to start the process all over again. Don't scorch your Roux.


The Holy Trinity & The Smoked Sausage


It's starting to come together


Cant forget the Shrimp


Voila!!
