    I had made Isaac Toups gumbo a few months back, and just as he said then "If you feel a lil brave, get that oil rocking hot." Mind you this was my first time making gumbo, or a roux, but I was feeling BRAVE, and burned it beyond recognition.

      The most fundamental concept in cooking to do with hot (in terms f temperature) food is that you need to let it cool down before eating, otherwise, you will not be able to taste everything properly, not to mention burning your tongue. How can I trust a dumbass who shovels piping hot results into his mouth?

    So I made this last night at my boyfriends because surprisingly he had everything but some celery. It turned out so good!!! I make gumbo all of the time but I’ve never made jambalaya before but it is a very similar process. It made together really fast. I have a 12inch cast iron skillet and I made everything it that. I love that it is a one pan dish as well. I added shrimp in mine and I cooked that hand and then the step where you add the butter, that’s when i folded in the shrimp as well. The only reason i did the shrimp separate was because i didnt want them to over cook. I didn’t follow the recipe to a T because I didnt measure everything out but I mostly just eyeballed everything to what i though he said, but again it came out AMAZING!!! Great easy simple recipe

    Issac: have been watching you and your career since Top Chef. Made this jambalaya yesterday for Sunday dinner. Your instructions for the roux were spot on (though I used quinoa flour instead): constant stirring and nice dark roux. Also, I was stunned at how good the gravy smelled after that one hour (or maybe 1:15) of simmering. Then you add the andouille and chicken ... holy cow. My kids (11 and 15) had never had this before and they loved it. Very, very glad I made it. Thank you for your help! Cook-on, Chef!

      Why is Jason's slash harder if the cabin is full of naked teens? That's who he kills, yes, but he only wishes to kill them. Not much force is needed to kill someone with a knife. This is just a bad joke, man. Slicing instead of smashing, premise doesn't make sense, it's just all over the place.

It's genuinely one of the best-tasting things I ever cooked - this recipe is lush. Highly recommended. My dad doesn't eat pork, so I replaced the andouille with Turkish sucuk from our local market. Still tasted awesome.

      black roux... the roux for gumbo and jambalaya is a black roux. And he's right, you can't make it with unclarified butter because it will burn and leave a bad taste in the final product.
      You could clarify the butter and skim the milk fats and water. Then the butter has a higher smoke point, never tried this for black roux, though

    @oskarvonreuenthal7732 6 років тому +4

    Top tip: the low and slow method of making dark roux is not just for beginners. It also produces a higher quality roux. The problem with high heat roux is that it will be unevenly cooked 100% of the time, I don't care if you're the most skilled chef or fastes roux-stirrer in Louisiana (you can actually see this clearly at 2:56). The color still looks fine because once stirred, you end up with a mosaic of too-dark and too-light flour and so it evens out visually but not flavorwise. Low and slow means each grain of flour is as equally browned as any other, meaning you have maximized browning. As we all know, browning = flavor. You do the rest of the math on that :)
