Whole30 Simple Gumbo with Chicken & Sausage
Ingredients
- 14 oz kielbasa , sliced min
- 1-2 chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp ghee
- 1/2 C cassava flour
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced
- 1 green pepper, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced or 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp cajun seasoning
- ¼ tsp dried thyme
- 32 oz beef broth
- 1 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1 ½ C water
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 C cooked rice or cauliflower rice optional
- fresh parsley for garnish
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a Dutch oven or large pot, heat 1 tbsp. ghee over medium – high heat. Add in the kielbasa & cook for 2-3 minutes. Or until sausage is caramelized. Remove from pot & set aside..
- In the same pot, Add the additional tbsp. of ghee & reduce heat to medium-low. With the drippings from the sausage there should be at least 3 tbsp worth of oil in the pan. If no, add a bit more ghee before adding in the cassava.Add in the cassava & whisk until combined. The roux may seem clumpy but it will loosen up over the next few minutes. Cook the roux for 8- 10 minutes, whisking every minute or so to prevent burning.
- To the roux, add the garlic, onion & pepper. Also add the cajun seasoning & thyme. Stir until the vegetables are coated with the roux. Allow this mixture to cook for another 3 minutes.
- Increase the heat to medium- high. Slowly add in the beef broth. While constantly whisking to avoid clumps.After the broth is smooth, add in the water, coconut aminos, bay leaf & chicken. Allow the broth to come to a boil, before reducing to a simmer. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove the chicken & shred it. Add the shredded chicken & sausage back to the pot.
- Serve over cauliflower or jasmine rice. Garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy.
