- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour

- 2 ribs celery, roughly chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1 large yellow onion, roughly chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1 large green bell pepper, roughly chopped, seeds removed (about 1 cup)
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
Gumbo
- 10 cups (2.41 kg) beef broth
- 1 ring (14 ounces) andouille sausage, or kielbasa, sliced into rounds
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) stewed tomatoes
- 1 can (6 ounces) tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- ½ teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 4 teaspoons gumbo file powder, divided
- 4 bay leaves
- 3 pounds uncooked medium shrimp, peeled, deveined
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- cooked white rice, for serving
Instructions
- In a large 6-quart pot over medium-low heat, melt butter. Once melted, add flour and whisk together until smooth. Continue cooking, whisking constantly until the roux is a deep brown color (about 30-40 minutes). Be careful not to let it burn.
- Remove from heat. Continue whisking until the mixture is cooled slightly. Set aside.
- While the roux is cooling, add the chopped celery, onion, pepper, and garlic to the bowl of a food processor. Process until finely chopped.
- Add the vegetable mixture to the roux and stir to combine. Place the pot over medium-low heat and continue to heat until vegetables are tender (8-12 minutes). Slowly whisk in broth and heat to boiling (15-20 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low. Add sausage, stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, hot sauce, sugar, Cajun seasoning, and thyme. Stir to combine. Add bay leaves and simmer, uncovered for 45 minutes.
- After simmering for 45 minutes, add 2 teaspoons of gumbo filé powder, stirring to combine. Continue to simmer for 15 more minutes.
- Remove the bay leaves. Then, add shrimp and Worcestershire sauce. Continue to cook over low heat for 45-60 minutes to give the flavors ample time to meld.
- Stir in the remaining gumbo filé powder.
- Serve over cooked white rice.
