Cajun Cooking #2 The Gumbo

Probably the most popular Cajun dish is the Gumbo. Just about anything can be used to make a gumbo from chicken to wild game to seafood. This one was cooked on a wood stove. Visit The Bayou Gardener in Avoyelles Parish Louisiana - Cajun Country at http://www.thebayougardener.com

Hey, that looks really good. I'm in Vienna, Austria and looking to try something different in order to impress my girlfriend. My understanding is the basic ingredients are the celery, onions, and bell peppers, the roux, and then smoked meats? And what was contained in the cajun spices? And the cooking oil? Is it olive oil or something for hotter temperatures? Thanks.

@TheUnicorn4711 ... The roux is very important and the smoked meat give it that Gumbo flavor. Use what ever seasoning you like and regular cooking oil........Donald

He cooks his pretty close to how i cook mine. Only difference is a peel the chicken meat off before putting it in there to keep the bones out of it. Also enjoy it with the chicken and some fresh gulf shrimp and blue crab legs in it...
