Cooking Tips

  • For a thicker gumbo, you can make a roux by cooking equal parts flour and oil until it turns a dark brown color.
  • If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper or omit it altogether.
  • Gumbo tastes even better the next day, so consider making it ahead of time and reheating it for a quick and delicious meal.

Storage and Serving

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat the gumbo on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Serve the gumbo with crusty bread or cornbread for a complete meal.
