Princess Tiana’s Famous Gumbo Recipe
Created with a dark roux, vegetables, chicken, shrimp, and sausage, Princess Tiana's Gumbo is authentic and absolutely delicious. This New Orleans-style recipe is best served over white rice with a chilled drink on the side.
Ingredients
- 2/3 Cup Canola or Vegetable Oil
- 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 Small Green Pepper, Diced
- 1 Onion, Diced
- 3 Stalks of Celery, Diced
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 5-6 Cups Low-Sodium Chicken Stock
- 1 Bay Leaf
- 12 oz. Smoked Andouille Sausage, Sliced
- 4 Cooked Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast, cut into 1/2 inch
- 1 lb. Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tbsp Tabasco
Instructions
- Place the Andouille sausage slices in a skillet and heat it over medium-high heat.
- Cook the sausage slices for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Add the oil to a large heavy bottom pot set over medium-low heat. Add the flour and start stirring constantly. Keep cooking and stirring for about 30-45 minutes until the roux has a deep dark color. Make sure you don’t burn your roux as that will ruin the taste of the Gumbo.
- Next, stir in the green bell peppers, onion, celery, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute.
- Mix in 5 1/2 cup of chicken broth. Add the bay leaves and stir well to combine.
- Let the Gumbo come to a boil and cook it for 5-7 minutes. Remove any foam that floats to the top.
- Add the chicken, andouille sausage, and shrimp. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the shrimp are tender. If the Gumbo seems too thick, add the remaining 1/2 cup of chicken broth.
- Serve over white rice and enjoy!
