Mrs. Redneck- How to Make a Roux

Too light for gumbo but it might make a good chicken stew. But to each their own. Probably would have been really hard to go any darker in that pan as it would have burned. That way us Coon Asses us cast iron for roux.

Cast iron definitely works better for this !

Stay out of the kitchen if you can't stand the heat.

My wife's gumbo is better than most I've had - and being from Louisiana, I've had a lot.

I use 1 part oil to 1 1/2 parts flour (thanks Justine). it takes 4 beers from start to finish. then dump in the trinity and add stock. that way it's easy to control the thickness.

I use butter and flour in my roux. But yeah, that is WAY too light. I wanna make a gumbo now.
