Gumbo!
Wild Gulf Shrimp and andouille from the University of Illinois Meat Science Laboratory.
Ready. Set. GO! Ain't it a beautiful sight?
Peanut butter roux. I let it get darker than this, but I didn't want to take the chance of burning it whilst f**king around with the camera.
Mirepoix getting happy with the roux. I used onions, celery and red bell and poblano peppers.
Beer break!
Well if TrueNorthReptiles isn't gonna show up with his fancy Alaskan beer, I'll just have to cook the greens myself.
Here's the olive oil, bacon fat and hot paper lantern habanero goodness that I threw the mustard greens into.
Here's the finished product. Our house is going to smell like gumbo for days and I'm completely cool with that!
