Now for gumbos sake Papa Josh’s gumbo is definitely elevated but you’re crazy if you say you wouldn’t at least try this! It looks delicious 🤤 P.S I’ve grown up with caujuns that smoother down onions, tomato, and okra and put it into there gumbos. So the can of crushed tomatoes didn’t faze me 😂 Thank you for your beautiful interpretation ❤️

Proper louisianian here! This looks delicious! It’s certainly not what I would call a gumbo but more of a dark roux seafood creole (which is similar to a gumbo but is less thick and usually incorporates more vegetables including tomatoes) which can be very delicious! This is not a slap in the face of Cajun cooking but more of a twist. If you’re traditional like me then you already know what this is and what it isn’t, but I would chow down on this no problem and it probably would taste better 90% of you gumbo PURISTS (which I belong to and most certainly belong to that 90% group because I can’t make it like grandma).

There's even a meatless Gumbo z'Herbs for the vegans amount us. The only rule was should the roux became the slightest bit burnt, throw it out, wash the pot, and start over as there is no trick method to ridding the finished gumbo of the burnt taste.

The Problem with mixing the seafood, beef and sausage is that you can overpower the seafood. Now if you've got a whole snow crab, four lobster tails plus the pound of shrimp like Joshua here you'll probably have enough flavour from all the shells. But if you wanna make a less extravagant gumbo I'd stick to either seafood or meat, compare the two and then you can try and mix them without loosing the seafood.

If you live somewhere with a crawfish season, save the claws when you go out to a boil or a restaurant, and use them to make a stock. The spicier the boil they came from, the better the resulting crawfish stock will be. You can freeze the claws if you’re not going to use them right away.

Okra needs to be separately cooked and CARMELIZED. This a trick I learned from the good old Time Life The Good Cook series of books, Soups. You fry sliced okra in oil and let the snot do what it do until it starts to brown and become a more interesting glaze. It's actually pretty awesome.

This may or not be true. The Choctaw word for filé is “kombo” so it could have come from them. Also, the gumbo of Louisiana, and the okra dish from west Africa are nothing alike. By the time the French and Africans and Natives were finished, you have a completely different dish, so okra is certainly not a necessity. If you took a bowl of gumbo to someone from Ghana I don’t think they would connect it to any of those dishes, other than the fact that okra was in it. The main characteristic of gumbo is the roux, not the okra, etymology notwithstanding.

It's probably the reference to "perfect" gumbo in the title.

Is your version, perfect...I would say no. But like the majority of your recipes, it can definitely be seen as elevated or enhanced.

Good fucking lord. This may even be too rich for the blood of the Creoles. Short rib, king crab, snow crab, lobster, duck fat, kielbasa…… this is so extra it’s fuckin hilarious 😂 idk man I’m sure this is delicious, and I appreciate your hard work as always, but this one ain’t for me. And I say that with no disrespect intended, seriously. I love Josh and I appreciate all the work he does. This recipe to me misses the whole point of gumbo, or rather the spirit of what gumbo is, even for a gumbo that’s clearly Creole instead of Cajun (yes there is a difference). To me, the awesome part about gumbo is making something delicious with relatively inexpensive and readily available ingredients (except for maybe blue crab but that’s more readily available in the places where gumbo originated so it’s whatever). So…. Idk man, this is just super boujee. And I feel like I’m not being too presumptuous by saying: this probably isn’t a recipe that most of Josh’s audience can realistically make for themselves.

This is very, very too much extra! I’m sure it absolutely delicious but most people are going to want a more humble gumbo. The thing I love about making gumbo it that it’s relatively inexpensive but truly delicious. I use homemade chicken stock (I have never seen beef used), get rid of the lobster use the crab only if affordable but I usually just use chicken, keep the shrimp and andouille, use less file’ powder and do everything else the same. The Cajun spice mixture is almost exactly what I use in mine. I also use the chocolate Roux and Worcestershire sauce. Okra’s sliminess can be cured by boiling separately rinsing it and then frying in oil draining on paper towels and then people can add it if they want. Making it this way makes way less slimy and adding it at the last moment also keep it from messing with the gumbo’s texture. Love the show but I also love gumbo staying humble too much not to comment!

It’s so close to burning you have basically dared God to fight you. THAT is a dark roux.

Hallelujah, preach! 🤣 But you can get that dark roux without the danger. Paul Prudhomme started that shit because he was mad at his mama for making him watch over the roux for hours - and because he was a showoff. I start my roux in a cast iron skillet on the stove, but once it's mixed up and starts to bubble, I put it in the oven at 350° and just stir it once every half hour or so. You can get it as dark as you like without much risk of burning at all; it just takes time - about three hours.

Great recipe and I like that Josh is promoting this recipe that seems difficult, but is not really. Once you get past making a dark roux (which is a lot easier that people make it out to be) it's basically like making chicken noodle soup. I'm sure Josh's gumbo is delicious, but it's definitely elevated. You can simplify it by just using chicken and sausage. If you want seafood, you could just add small shrimp. This is definitely a dish that everyone could (and SHOULD) make. I guarantee you, whatever results you get at home will be at least twice as good as whatever you get at any restaurant in any part of the world, including Cajun Country, New Orleans, or any other part of Louisiana. I have lived in South Louisiana for all my life and I have NEVER had good gumbo from a restaurant. I don't know why, but it just doesn't scale.

...I think it goes without saying that if you have an allergy, you're excused :) Nobody is promoting kill yourself just to have gumbo. Though if you ARE feeling fatalistic...this would be a delicious way to end it all 😂

Yeah this was an interesting way to make it. My grandmother put tomatoes in hers too. She was from Louisiana. There are several ways. I use chicken, sausage, shrimp and crab( in the shell).

So does my aunt! I’ve never seen this combo (chicken, shrimp, crab, sausage with tomatoes and file) on any of the gumbo videos on KZfaq or cooking shows but this is exactly how my aunt from Louisiana makes it.

@@Josie-6 It’s not a Creole thing, it’s a New Orleans area thing. We of Louisiana birth and colonial Louisiana heritage are all Creoles in south Louisiana regardless of race and that includes Cajuns. Putting tomatoes in a gumbo is a regional thing, as is all of south Louisiana cooking. It’s a Greater New Orleans thing vs. Acadiana thing.
