Authentic Gumbo

:salute:

I made Gumbo for the first time a few weeks ago. Me and my girlfriend loved it but I've never been to Louisiana so I don't have any reference to compare it to. Only added Anduille and shrimp, next time I make it I'll be sure to put more meat in it.

Making the roux was :whew:

Made a pseudo-Thanksgiving dinner last Sunday because I got a 15-pound fresh turkey for $8 :wow: Leftovers from that meal lasted us all week.

You know your boy went in today! Too busy to post pictures but I smoked a turkey and then roasted it, hood style mac and cheese (no scrappy), braised cabbage with ham and apples, made some soft dough rolls, some cornbread dressing. I'll post pcs later. I had to make a ton of cookies too. :eat:

Cooked the best steak of my life last night; think I finally cracked the code. Didn't take any good pictures after cutting it though.

made king crab & avocado quesadillas w/ mango salsa to bring to christmas party :ahh:

images


I wanted to stay home and eat all them shyts myself

if interested:

For the mango salsa:
1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and diced into 1/4-inch cubes
1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 large ripe tomato, peeled, seeded, and diced
2 Tbs. finely chopped fresh chives
2 Tbs. chopped fresh cilantro
2 Tbs. fresh lime juice
1 fresh jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the quesadillas:
Twelve 8-inch flour tortillas
1-1/2 cups cooked crabmeat, picked over to remove any bits of shell
1-1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack
2 ripe Hass avocados, pitted, peeled, and mashed
1/3 cup finely chopped scallion
1/3 cup lightly packed, finely chopped cilantro leaves
2 Tbs. fresh lime juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Grapeseed or canola oil for frying
Make the salsa:

Combine all of the salsa ingredients and let stand at least an hour at room temperature so the flavors can develop. Chill until ready to serve.
Make the quesadillas:

With a 2-inch cookie cutter, cut out 120 circles from the tortillas (you’ll get about 10 per tortilla).

In a large bowl, gently mix the crab, cheese, avocados, scallion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Spread the crab mixture onto 60 of the tortillas (about 1 Tbs. each) and top with the other tortillas.

To cook, heat a little oil in a nonstick sauté pan over medium heat and cook the quesadillas in batches until lightly browned and the cheese is melting, about 2 minutes per side. Serve warm with a bit of salsa on top.
Make Ahead Tips
You can assemble these quesadillas a couple of hours ahead; refrigerate them until ready to fry.
