Gumbo....looks dark and tasty. Another textbook example of a roux. Nice dark roux for gumby as it's more of a signature flavor then a thickener when it gets dark.<br />
<br />
Horror Story:. 14 years ago...spent about $70 on some PRIME ingredients for a killer gumbo recipe I got. Skrimps, Chorizzo, Chicken Gizzards...everything bought fresh and premium quality. First time ever doing a roux. I fucking BURNED the roux without realizing it. Made the gumbo with the burned roux and wrecked everything. $70 straight down the drain. Lesson learned. ALWAYS taste your roux...there is a real fine line between that natural nutty brown roux and burnt butter/flour. They look REAL similar...but don't taste it...lol. Use a thick bottom pan (Dutch Oven A++) and keep the heat down....the darker the roux you want (Gumbo)...let it go for 20 mins or more on low heat. Normal blond roux is about 5-7 mins on med-low. Try it out guys....some amazing g flavor hiding inside a little bit of buddy and a scoop of flour.<br />
