How to Make it:

Servings:8
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 large onion, diced
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup sliced scallion
6 cloves minced garlic

1-2 jalapenos(optional)
4 cups chicken broth

1 large can crushed tomatoes

1 can diced or stewed tomatoes 

1 small can tomato sauce

your choice of hot sauce(we like Franks)
1 teaspoon salt and pepper
1 teaspoon creole or Cajun seasoning
2 lbs any combo of sausage or 2 lbs shrimp or 2 lbs chicken (etc.)

How to make it:

In a large stockpot combine oil and flour and cook over medium-high heat about 15 minutes or until it turns very dark brown, almost between brown and black.

You will have to stir almost constantly.

This is called the roux.

Add onions, parsley, celery, bell peppers, scallions and garlic and cook about 10 more minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring regularly.

Add broth, salt, and creole seasoning. Then add tomatoes and tomato sauce

Cover pot and simmer 15 minutes stirring occasionally.

Add your chosen combination of meat at this point and simmer an additional 10 minutes (if using whole pieces of crab like claws, or blue crab halves cook a little longer to ensure they're cooked all the way.).

Ladle over steamed white rice.
