Gumbo du Monde
On Monday I took the day off work. I had nothing planned and was pretty well caught up with photography, so I decided to tackle a project that I’ve been knocking around in my head for a couple years. I decided to make gumbo. After scouring recipes, I chose this one:
I made the roux in the oven and forgot to buy chicken, but otherwise followed the stock and main recipe pretty faithfully. the gumbo turned out very well (next time I won’t forget the chicken) but turned out to be an unexpected pain in the ass to shop for. Did you have any idea how hard it is to gather ingredients for a gumbo recipe here in Philadelphia? Now maybe if it were noon on a Sunday, I could have bought everything on 9th street and maybe if I didn’t mind spending 3x as much, I could have gotten everything at Whole Foods, but this was my experience.
