Gumbo was one of our favourite things from the America trip. I’d describe it as a hearty rich stew but nothing like what we’d have with spuds. It’s got a rich thick sauce, packed with flavour and loads of meat. My version might spark a debate with the purest's but we don't have all the traditional ingredients here. Plus I couldn't justify all the oil in the roux so made my own dry version instead. If you enjoy those cajun flavours this will be right up your street.
