Made a pot of beans yesterday. Lately I’ve been throwing in some duck fat in at the beginning and a big spoon of whole grain mustard in at the end, both of which I’m enjoying. Anyone else have any tweaks to their red beans recipe (beyond the standard beans, andouille, trinity, garlic/thyme/bay/cayenne)?

Fish sauce when sauteeing the onions. I like a lil cider or red wine vinegar at the end.

Is it still possible to buy oyster liquor? I know what to sub it with, but I want to try oyster liquor.

(Also this recipe calls for two quarts.)

I’ve only ever gotten it with shucked oysters bought by the half-gallon. And I save it and freeze it because I’ve never seen it for sale.

My beloved fiance has recently learned that gluten betrays her. What alternative flours can I use to make a dark roux for my gumbo that will not make a super noticable change in flavor or texture? I worry sorghum would be too sweet.

I have used pure rice flour for someone with severe celiac. It worked pretty well. I think any gluten-free blend would be better -- they mix up stuff to mimic wheat pretty closely.

The universal thing about any gluten-free flour seems to be that you have to keep it a shade lighter than the full dark-red cajun max roux. So your gumbo will be slightly paler than normal.

The thing to avoid is an almond flour or any blend that has a lot of nut flours.

I've used rice flour and tapioca flour before and yeah definitely keep it lighter and be prepared to quench it pretty fast, as in my experience it browned muuuuuch more quickly than wheat flour. The flavor was not as good as wheat flour for either imo but not enough to make it bad or anything, it still came out really well but definitely again would suggest a homemade stock to help offset this even further. Also I like using Okra with these because the thickening is less noticeable but you might want a file gumbo instead.

I use okra and file both because I am a wild card, babey

Thank you all for the good suggestions. Gumbo season is upon us and I look forward to this new flour-based challenge

Idk if it’s gluten free or no, but Kitchen Bouquet will at least get the end product to the normal color and it adds some decent ‘brown’ flavor.

Did some cooking this weekend.

Fried shrimp oyster po boys.





Also made an oyster bisque



Crab stock for gumbo



This stock was unbelievable, could have just eaten it on its own.

Shrimp, okra and andouille gumbo





Served at a Halloween party in cups for easy walking.

Also made jambalaya



Pretty sure I gained 10 lbs since Friday.

Listen, some people may tell you to check the weather before planning a big project for the weekend. Don’t listen to them. You do not need that kind of negativity in your life.

Is it 3 degrees F out there? Yes. Is it snowing? Also yes. Did I already plan to make sausage? Hell yes.

12lbs of coarse andouille for cooking, and 8lbs of finer grind for grilling and eating. Not pictured, 4lbs I didn’t add milk powder to, but added some dextrose and starter culture to before fermenting and cold smoking. We’ll see how andouille salami is in 2 months.




Coarse




In a pot of red beans for dinner tonight.

Brown some dark meat chicken, normally I would use boneless skinless thighs but I had this stuff already.


Next goes the sausage


Remove the meat and add a third of your trinity and start your roux separately



When it looks like this add your next third, and a few minutes after that your garlic



Add a little flour to the main pot to soak up the grease, and then add the meat back in and a couple quarts of homemade chicken stock and seasonings. I used hot sauce, Worcestershire, bay leaves, soy sauce, fish sauce, paprika, thyme, file, black pepper, Peychauds bitters, and some Kashmiri chili powder just for fun.




By now your roux should look like this so add that into and let it simmer for at least an hour. Pull the chicken out and shred or chop it up it and add it back in. About 15 minutes before serving add in the last 3rd of your Trinity and adjust salt and liquid levels.

It's Dungeness crab season so I made a gumbo using Alton Brown's oven roux method and crab shell stock last week. It was delicious but I'm not sure I ever want to make crab stock in my home again - it took 5 days for the smell to clear out (not helped by being unable to open up all the windows for a while due to weather) and after the first day or so it made things pretty gross. Roux method was easy and foolproof, I don't think I'll ever bother making it on the stove.

Quick question on this post. Those various spices, do you happen to have any measurements for them? Even approximate ones would be great. Normally, I do a basic gumbo, but I'm getting things together for lunches for work, and I'm feeling fancy and wanting to try something a bit different, and this sounds pretty excellent at a glance.

I was afraid you guys would say something like that. Not that I am incapable of measuring with my heart, but I always prefer to have a point to jump off from the first time I start slinging spices with wild abandon on a recipe that I've not done that to yet. Are we talking like, teaspoons here, or tablespoons? Literally a pinch of this and that? Mostly, my concern stems from the fact that this is going to be my lunches for the week for work. If it was like, a single serving thing, I'd not care nearly as much.

Adding it to like a whole pot id say a tbls of black pepper, paprika and fish sauce and a tsp each for the others then taste before and after that and then adjust further by taste.

Everyone before me was pretty on point but if you're dead set on using measurements I would estimate I used:

Worcestershire 1.5 T
Fish sauce 1 T
Soy sauce 1 T
Black pepper (fresh cracked) 1 t
Hot sauce .5 T
Peychauds 12 shakes
Dried thyme 1 t
Bay leaves 2
Paprika 1.5 T
Kashmiri chili .75 t
Filé 1 t

Good luck and god bless
