Justin Wilson’s Red Bean Gumbo. The trick is an ultra-dark roux. You’re gonna burn it the first few tries, so give yourself a few hours to practice. This ultra-dark roux takes almost 45 minutes to make. It should look like chocolate pudding and smell of toasted wheat if you did it correctly.
A burnt roux is only suitable for the garbage bin. Seriously, don’t try to save $0.50 of oil and flour, whatever you try to make with it will taste burnt and shitty
You get this recipe correct though, and you’ll love it. I guarantee.
