Instructions

 

  • Make a roux by heating the oil in a heavy pot or Dutch oven, add flour gradually and stir until well mixed.

  • This step will take awhile but, you don’t have to stand there with it the whole time.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Slowly stir in hot water until contents of pot are about half way up the pot.
  • Place back on fire and bring to a boil.
  • Put remainder of ingredients into pot of roux, lower fire to a simmer and cover pot making sure it does not boil over.

  • Check seasonings and add salt or pepper as needed.
  • Serve over hot, cooked rice.
