Ingredients
Method
- 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.
