Learn how to make a delicious New Orleans-style shrimp, chicken, and sausage gumbo from scratch with this detailed recipe. Here's a step-by-step recipe for New Orleans-style Shrimp, Chicken, and Sausage Gumbo: Ingredients: 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces 1 cup oil (vegetable or canola) 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 large onion, chopped 1 green bell pepper, chopped 2 stalks celery, chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 4 cups chicken broth (from cooking the chicken) 1 cup okra, sliced 1 lb sausage (e.g., andouille or a spicy pork sausage), sliced 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined 2 tablespoons gumbo filet (sassafras powder) 2 tablespoons creole seasoning 1 tablespoon black pepper 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste) 4 bay leaves 1 teaspoon dried thyme Salt to taste 2-3 green onions (scallions), chopped Old Bay seasoning for shrimp Instructions: Prepare Chicken Broth: In a large pot, place the chicken pieces and cover with water. Season with salt and add a chopped onion and a few cloves of garlic. Simmer the chicken on medium heat for a few hours until it's tender. Remove the chicken from the broth and let it cool. Once cooled, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Reserve the chicken broth. Make the Roux: In a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, preheat it over medium heat. Add the oil and let it heat up, then slowly whisk in the flour. Stir continuously and cook the roux until it turns a rich chocolate-cinnamon color. Be careful not to burn it. This will take some time; be patient. Add the Trinity: Stir in the chopped green bell pepper, celery, and onion into the roux. Cook until the vegetables become translucent. Incorporate Chicken Broth: Gradually add the chicken broth you prepared earlier, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue to simmer. Season the Gumbo: Add gumbo filet, creole seasoning, black pepper, cayenne pepper, bay leaves, dried thyme, and salt to the roux mixture. Stir in the minced garlic. Fry Okra: In a separate pan, fry the okra until it's no longer slimy. Then, add it to the gumbo. Sauté the Sausage: In the same pan used for okra, sauté the sausage slices until they brown. Add them to the gumbo. Final Touch with Shrimp: Season the peeled and deveined shrimp with Old Bay seasoning. Gently fold in the shrimp and the shredded chicken into the gumbo. Allow the gumbo to simmer for at least another hour to let all the flavors meld together. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve and Garnish: Serve the gumbo hot, preferably over cooked white rice. Garnish with chopped green onions (scallions). Enjoy your homemade New Orleans-style Shrimp, Chicken, and Sausage Gumbo!

Classic Peach Cobbler Recipe Yield: 6 servings Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 40 minutes Total Time: 1 hour Ingredients: For the Filling: 8 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced 1/4 cup white sugar 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract 2 teaspoons cornstarch For the Topping: 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup white sugar 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces 1/4 cup boiling water 3 tablespoons white sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon To Serve: Vanilla ice cream Instructions: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, mix the sliced peaches, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and almond or vanilla extract. Sprinkle cornstarch over the mixture and toss everything together until the peaches are coated evenly. Transfer the peach mixture into a 2-quart baking dish or divide it among 5-6 individual baking dishes. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. While the peaches are baking, prepare the topping. In a medium bowl, combine flour, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the boiling water until just combined. In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of white sugar with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Remove the peaches from the oven and spoon the topping over them in a rustic manner. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the topping. Place the cobbler back in the oven and bake for an additional 25-35 minutes, or until the topping turns golden brown. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve the warm peach cobbler with scoops of vanilla ice cream on top. Enjoy this delightful Old-Fashioned Peach Cobbler as a comforting dessert!
