Instructions
- Heat a pan to medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil and heat.
- Season chicken with salt and pepper and add to the pan along with the sliced andouille. Cook a couple minutes per side until browned. Set aside until ready to use.
- Add ½ cup peanut oil to a large pot and heat to medium heat. Add flour and stir. Cook for 15-20 minutes, constantly stirring, until the roux browns to the color of chocolate. Do not allow to burn.
- Add peppers, onion, celery and garlic. Stir and cook for 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken and andouille. Stir and cook for 1 minute.
- Add crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, herbs and seasonings, chicken stock and a few dashes or more of hot sauce. Scrape up the brown bits from the bottom.
- Add collard greens and bring to a quick boil. Reduce heat and cook at medium-low heat for 1 hour or more to thicken.
- Tuck the shrimp into the gumbo the last 10 minutes of cooking and simmer until the shrimp is cooked through.
- Remove from heat and swirl in a few dashes of hot sauce to your preference.
- Serve with cooked rice and extra hot sauce.
Notes
- Serves 8-10.
- Heat Factor: HOT. You can easily dial back the heat by skipping the ghost peppers and using milder peppers.
