Most Louisiana folks will tell you one of the most important steps of making a Cajun gumbo is a good dark roux!

IF you get this right, it's most of the work done!

Add the oil over medium heat.

Add the flour and stir until combined.

Keep Stirring, don't let it burn.

Until you get a nice dark chocolate colored roux.

Add the sausage and caramelize.

Add the holy trinity of onion, garlic and green bell pepper.

Add the chicken broth. Stir to combine.
