Make sure you give those balls a good coating of batter or breading otherwise they will soak up hot oil and get all hollowed out and nasty.

Seafood gumbo to wake this thread up. I made a roux to put in the fridge for a gumbo tomorrow. Never done this before, I’ll let you know how it goes.

That is a fine lookin gumbo my friend. I too am interested in pre-prepping roux, that would be a nice time saver if it works out.

Phil Moscowitz posted:Seafood gumbo to wake this thread up. That's a FINE looking gumbo! Prepping roux in advance totally works, just be prepared for a workout tomorrow. The flour will settle out of the oil and become a brick on the bottom. It will take enough force to break it up initially that you will want to be really careful in that glass container.

I’ve used commercially jarred roux, so I know about the thiccness. That seafood gumbo was an adventure. I used lard for the roux, and—I suspect—added the stock I made when it wasn’t hot enough. So I ended up skimming the separated roux as best I could, then making another roux and adding it to the proto gumbo. I almost always do it the reverse way, adding stock to the roux. But this came out amazing. Very dark roux and very flavorful gumbo. We’ll see how tomorrow goes. These suckas are going in it. Two bits for scale. Also a bunch more shrimp, gumbo crabs, and claw meat. Andouille and okra. Should be nice.

Transfer the peanut butter to a 500mL beaker with a large stir rod. Leave it on a stir plate on high at all times. You’ll want to keep your house above 90f inside to allow for a viscosity capable of being vortexed. Klyith posted:

I live in Houston, it's 90+ outside probably 9 months out of the year, just don't want it to get rained on.

Note to self: If you're planning on etoufee and the next time shrimp are marked "Shell and tail on" and come peeled and deveined anyway, pull out a couple links of andouille and make jambalaya instead. I've made etoufee without stock and was disappointed - Jambalaya didn't seem to suffer nearly as much. No photos because my kitchen is a mess (tomorrow's job!).

Not sure if a muffaletta really counts as Cajun, but it is from New Orleans so I figure it can't hurt to post it here. I'm a long way from the US right now, but got a craving for a muffaletta after talking about them with friends for a while. I can source most ingredients here though I had to make the bread myself. Can't get provolone so I swapped it for low moisture mozzarella. Salami and other pork cold cuts are hard to come by here, but I have a little shop that caters to expats I can go to and pay exorbitant prices for that sort of thing. I think I processed the olive salad a little too much, but that's easy to keep in mind for next time. All that said, I am really happy with how this thing turned out. It's also the proper size (huge) and it'll cover dinner for a week along with some chips. I'm currently on day 5. I regret nothing.

If you can make the bread yourself and manage the overnight olive soak, you're 70% of the way there. I'm sort of curious where you are that suitable replacements for the rest couldn't be found for most of it, but that's me.

I'm sort of curious where you are that suitable replacements for the rest couldn't be found for most of it, but that's me. I'm here working in a fabrication yard for the duration of the project I'm on. It's a majority Muslim country so pork is just hard to come by. It also tends to be pretty pricy when you can find it. I was able to find ham and a couple different types of salami at that expat store I mentioned so I did fine. Cheese is too if you want something other than processed cheese or a basic cheddar. I went with swiss and low moisture mozzarella since provolone doesn't exist here. There's leeway in this sandwich so I feel pretty good about what I was able to find. When I came here at the start of the year the world was a bit more normal and I was under the assumption I'd be able to go to Singapore (a short ferry ride away) for anything I couldn't get here. Didn't work out that way, obviously, but I make do pretty well. Helps that I've always liked to cook. I do dumb poo poo like make my own cornmeal in a coffee grinder, make my own butter for the buttermilk, even attempted masa once, but it didn't really work out.

Nice muff. The jarred roux worked perfectly. I only kept it for a day, but it didn’t really even coagulate. Most cane fight out and the rest easily spooned out. Tasted great too.

It’s pretty common to do an oven roux, but with the flour and oil already mixed. The ATK method was unique in that they just dark toasted the flour dry, then made gumbo with it. Any idea which your mom did?
