hay don’t forget to sprinkle a bit of cajun file’ when serving or at the end of cooking. Gumbo is always better after it sits for a bit also, JMO.

I agree about not starting with a roux, it just tastes so much lighter without it. Thanks for a great recipe.

Amy if you add the orka with the onions, peppers and celery it will reduce the amount of thickening

Mary, if you had actually read this post, you’d see that I clearly stated that this is not a “true” Cajun gumbo.

A true cajun gumbo is made with dark roux, which isn’t even used in this instance for it’s most well-known purpose (thickening), but to add color, a little bit of nuttiness, and that all around density that ties all of the flavors of the gumbo ingredients together. Oh, and also, true cajun gumbos never EVER have include tomatoes. Cajun cooking doesn’t use tomatoes in any recipe, whereas tomatoes are a staple in Creole cooking (this is the main difference between the two.

Did you watch The Great Food Truck Race? They had a truck called Ragin Cajun and it made me want to make gumbo.
