Making a roux takes time and patience, it is singularly the most important step to making a good gumbo. Equal parts oil and flour (1 cup each) in a nice heavy pot\u2026..cook on med heat.<\/p>\n
Stir, stir, stir and stir some more. Don\u2019t rush it, don\u2019t walk away from the pot too long because you don\u2019t want to burn it. Pull up a bar stool, pour yourself a glass of wine, grab a cold beer or maybe mix a drink but get comfortable take your time and stir until the roux is a deep chocolate color which will take anywhere from 25 up to 40 minutes.<\/p>\n
Once you\u2019ve reached the color you desire, add the chopped veggies and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook another 3 to 5 minutes then add the liquid (2-3 quarts of water or stock)<\/p>\n
Add spices to taste, two bay leaves, one tsp gumbo file` and one capful of liquid crab boil which is about a fourth teaspoon. Cover and let simmer on med\/low for 20 minutes. Add the crab, cover and cook another 30 minutes. Add oysters and shrimp, cover and cook another 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
