- Ingredients:
- 2
- Serves:
-
2-4
ingredients
- 1 cup cooking oil
- 1 cup flour (all purpose is fine)
directions
- Heat oil in a heavy pot. black iron is best. get it "real hot", she said.
- Add flour a little at a time and brown to the color you want. make it nice and dark for gumbo and stews.
- You will have to add water or some seasoned stock to complete.
- if you want to get that cajun flavor for some etouffee, or gumbo, i would suggest using spices instead of seasoned stock. i don't think you need seasoned stock, unless you are going for a turkey gumbo or something.
- some say that every french meal starts with a roux.
