Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Roux and Broth
  • 57 g butter 4 tbsp
  • 36 g Ketonia bread mix equivalent 4 tbsp: 19.5g vital wheat gluten, 10.5g flax meal, 4.75g oat fiber, 4.4g almond flour, 0.75g salt, 0.12g xanthan gum, 0.06g citric acid
  • 1300 ml chicken broth 5.5 cups
  • Gumbo
  • 340 g andouille sausages, sliced into coins 12 oz
  • 454 g chicken breast, cubed 1 lb
  • 0.5 bunch celery, diced leaves and all
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 1 bunch green onions, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 120 ml chicken broth 1/2 cup, for deglazing
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning 1 to 2 tbsp to taste
  • 454 g shrimp, pre-cooked 1 lb
  • Cauliflower Rice (optional)
  • 283 g riced cauliflower 10 oz
  • 1 tbsp butter

Method
 

  1. Make roux: combine Ketonia bread mix equivalent and butter in a large pot. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly for 3 minutes. Whisk in 5.5 cups of chicken broth until smooth.
  2. In a separate large skillet over medium-high heat, brown sausage slices and chicken in one layer, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Add celery, bell pepper, onion, green onion, and garlic to the same skillet. Saute about 5 minutes. Transfer vegetables into the roux pot.
  4. Add 1/2 cup chicken broth to the hot skillet to deglaze. Pour drippings into the pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat and boil 5 to 7 minutes, skimming any foam. Stir in Cajun seasoning to taste.
  5. Add chicken, sausage, and shrimp. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, chicken bouillon, and garlic as desired.
  6. Squeeze moisture from cauliflower rice using a thin kitchen towel. Saute in butter over medium-high for 2 to 3 minutes until lightly browned. Serve gumbo over cauliflower rice.

Notes

The Ketonia bread mix roux thickens differently than a traditional flour roux but works beautifully. Taste and season aggressively - gumbo should have bold flavor. Nutrition is estimated per serving with cauliflower rice.
