Chicken and Sausage Gumbo

This gumbo recipe takes a little work, but it is well worth it. A very hearty meal with the flavors and spices of the New Orlean's area. File powder is a vital ingredient and acts as a thickening agent at the end of the recipe - don't leave it out. Take your time with the roux, let it cook to a dark brown color before adding the onions, peppers and celery.

The secret is in the roux. You must be sure to stir frequently when cooking or it tends to separate and if you don't cook the roux thoroughly you'll taste the flour in the dish.
