What is Gumbo?

Gumbo is a Louisiana stew made with meat, and/or shellfish, onions, bell peppers, and celery, and a thickener. There are many variations of gumbo out here. Some are made with chicken, sausage and seafood while others are a combination of just two. This version uses chicken, sausage, and shrimp.  Gumbo is similar to jambalaya. They both use sausages, meats, seafood, vegetables and similar seasonings. However jambalaya does not use a roux. Also, while gumbo is served with rice as an accompaniment, in jambalaya the rice is mixed in with the other ingredients.

Thickening Agent

The 3 common ways to thicken a gumbo is 1) a roux, 2) gumbo filé or 3) okra. Most times people use a roux which is a combination of flour & fat cooked together. It’s not compliant or healthy. To keep this low-carb, paleo, or whole30 you will need to use wither okra or filé powder (ground sassafras leaves). I kept things simple and used frozen okra. I know this might make some people say that minus the roux this isn’t a real gumbo. My answer to that is fact that it’s being made in the slow cooker or pressure cooker makes it a non-traditional gumbo anyway, right??

How To Serve Gumbo

Traditionally gumbo is served over rice but since this is a cleaned up low-carb, paleo, whole30 version I serve this over….riced cauliflower. You probably guess that already.

close up of cooked gumbo in the instant pot

Most Cajun seasonings already have a lot of salt (and pepper) in them. If the Cajun seasoning you’re using does not, you will need to add 1-2 teaspoons of salt and pepper to the dish.

You can substitute a Creole seasoning blend in place of the Cajun seasoning. Need a Cajun seasoning? Use this:

Packed with Creole and Cajun flavors, this easy gumbo recipe is sure to please. Not just easy this is healthy too being both whole30 and paleo compliant.

    Excellent recipe, with some amendments:

    The balance of spices and the Holy Trinity of Cajun cooking is just right.

    I left the bone in the skinless chicken thighs. By the time this is cooked, the meat is falling off the bones and we got all that boney-goodness.

    I despise okra and am too lazy to make a decent roux. Either use sassafras file’ OR throw in 6-8 frozen tater tots. The tots dissolve and thicken beautifully.

    Made in a Dutch oven, stovetop. Added about 1/2 pint chicken broth. Raised temperature to a boil, then lowered t to a very low simmer.

    I’m going to try today! I’m on the keto diet and want some gumbo. To comment on the traditional gumbo statement, I live in southern louisiana and gumbo is a personal dish. Some people make chicken water and call it gumbo where as some add every shelled fish plus the chicken feet and call it gumbo. I am going to make your personal version of gumbo and enjoy it! Glad I found it for it doesn’t call for flour!

      Made it! Its delicious! Amazed at how the flavors came together! However I did brown chicken in bacon fat and used the remaining fat to brown some almond flour (1/4 cup) to make a roux. I had to make a roux lol. I also forgot about the okra and had to saute alone in oil until no longer slimmy . I added the okra last.

FANTASTIC! the only modification I did was halfing the cayenne and I used “Slap Your Momma” cajun seasoning. Plenty of heat for me and I hit my husbands threshold – he was sweating but loved the meal. Lol

        Does the okra get really over cooked? I fixed this recipe before but didn’t have any okra. I like okra to maintain some texture and that keeps it from becoming slimy.

          I used 2 cups of frozen okra. After the initial low cook time, the first cup of okra had cooked away to nothing. Literally couldn’t find any BUT it had acted like a thickener. So I now add another cup when I add the shrimp. It doesn’t get slimy.

    I gave this a try yesterday, and I’m rather pleased with the result. I took a few liberties given what I had on hand and went heavy handed with my favorite cajun seasoning. Mine came out like an etouffee rather than a gumbo in both looks and taste, but I love etouffee also, so it works! I’ll definitely try again, but I’ll probably cut back on the tomato a good deal and substitute some pre-made roux. This will make it into my meal rotation for sure, though.

    I like to always have a soup or chili in the fridge for lunch or “I’m starving!” emergencies, and I just made this. It’s delicious, even without the roux! I doubled the okra and took time to make sure it all cooked into nothingness, so the okra acted as a thickener. I added about 2 cups of water, too, as I like my gumbo to be a little soupy. With file powder sprinkled on it and all the okra smashed into it, it came out plenty thick. I only miss the roux a little (and I don’t miss making it, even with the oven method!).

    This was so good!!! So flavorful and without any of the tummy upset I get with chili. One comment though— you may want to specify that the sausage should be uncooked (I’m assuming?). I used Aidell’s cooked andouille sausage and by the end of 7 hours it was pretty mushy.

    • Fit SlowCooker Queen says

      January 2, 2018 at 1:47 pm

      It’s a little different. From what I understand, gumbo file is more of a flavorful thickening agent. It can provide thickening when okra is not in season, in types of gumbo that use okra or a roux as a thickener for gumbo instead of file.

    This was SO good! We followed the recipe pretty much exactly, except we added shrimp to individual bowls after it was done cooking and didn’t add okra (couldn’t find any at the store). So, so delicious – very flavorful. Thanks for a great recipe!

    I ended up using a whole bag of frozen okra and an extra portion of bay leaves and celery for more greens. No shrimp (since I’m allergic) and it still tasted great.

      It won’t necessarily be a gumbo but it should still taste good! You would reduce the cook time by 2 hours with no meat. You can always add in some sort of beans or more veggies. Yup, still add the shrimp at the end. Enjoy!

      It will depend on which ingredients you use. For example mine was 450 calories per serving but I used FarmerJohnLA sausage.

        Is the nutritional information you listed based on farmer John’s?

    Been eating and making gumbo for years. Can’t imagine it without a roux base, as that defines the entire experience. Nevertheless, we’re eating healthier these days, so I’ll give it a try and let the group know how it turns out. Thanks for sharing.

      I hear you but unfortunately a roux made of flour and butter is definitely not whole30 or paleo. But like you said you’re looking to eat healthier so I hope you try & enjoy it!

        I haven’t made this gumbo recipe yet (planning to make it this week), but I have adapted my own gumbo recipe that I cook in a dutch oven. I do make a roux using either almond or arrowroot flour and I use ghee in place of butter (almond flour, arrowroot flour, and ghee are all Whole30 compliant).

          I’d love to know your roux secret. I tried an arrowroot flour/ghee mixture and it came out horrible. What ratio did you use?

    Have you tried using gumbo filé powder? I’m thinking that maybe you are in the U.K. so maybe it’s not readily available there, but it’s an herb that many use in their gumbo. It adds thickness and flavor. This does sound delicious, though.

    What kind of sausage did you use? I’m curious because your dish looks amazing and I’ve experienced sausage fails in the slow cooker… lol! Also, was your sausage whole30? Btw…This looks sooooo yummy!

      Thank you! I used Farmer John hot Louisiana smoked sausage. It’s not compliant (ssshhh don’t tell) but it’s good! One thing you can do for sausage to hold shape in the slow cooker is to cut it into larger chunks or brown it in a skillet and add it to the gumbo the last hour of cook time. Enjoy!

        Whole Foods sells Wellshire Smoked Andouille Sausage. It’s Whole30 compliant and tastes great in Gumbo.
