Cajun Ninja Gumbo – a delicious combination of traditional gumbo with a fun spicy kick that will please any palate! This recipe uses fresh vegetables in a flavorful broth and some of your favorite spices to give it that extra zing.

In this recipe, I made the roux from scratch. You can use a pre-made roux if you prefer. To make the roux, I heat oil in a pan and add equal parts of flour. 

Cook it on a medium-high flame while stirring continuously until it forms a smooth paste. I was careful as the roux would burn very easily.

Instructions

Step 1 

Start with slicing and dicing your vegetables, chicken, and sausage. Once you complete the prep work, place everything in the fridge to keep it fresh until ready for use.

Step 2 

It’s time to make the roux. Put the oil in a pot and heat it over medium-high. Once the oil is hot, add flour while whisking continuously until you get a chocolate brown color. It may take up to an hour, depending on the stove.

Step 3

Now, add all the vegetables and mix them well with the roux. Cook this for 10 minutes.

Step 4 

In another pan, cook sausage until it’s slightly browned. Then add chicken stock to deglaze the pan and loosen the flavorful bits stuck to the bottom.
