[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Folks, the OP is so cooking inexperienced that she hasn't heard of roux.  Telling her to make a roux for gumbo is tantamount to telling her to get into the cockpit and land the plane.

OP, while it is true that it is hard to screw up roux, you cannot make it in a hurry without scorching it and you do want to cook it long enough that the flour taste abates.  The jarred stuff works.  You can also try it yourself.  Look at this from America's Test Kitchen:  [url]https://www.americastestkitchen.com/articles/3057-how-to-make-dry-roux-for-gumbo[/url].

Good luck!  You've got this, girl!

BTW, the real question with gumbo is ... okra or no okra.[/quote]

All the okra. S/o... is there anywhere in this region where you can buy pre-battered frozen okra? I'm a Texas transplant and I haven't found fried okra at the store anywhere. I've got little kids, so I don't have time to make it on my own.[/quote]

I have not had fried okra since I lived in Dallas.  Now you've made my mouth water, darn it![/quote]

You may have to go out to the Virginia burbs, but find a Food Lion. They usually have Southern veggies like battered okra, speckled butter beans, etc. [/quote]

Ah, good to know, thanks![/quote]
