Ingredients:

• 4 Franconian Andouille Cajun Sausages, sliced into rounds
• 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 3 celery stalks, chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
• 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 cup okra, sliced (fresh or frozen)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Cooked white rice, for serving
• Chopped parsley and sliced green onions, for garnish

Method:

1. Make the Roux: In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Whisk in flour to create a roux, stirring continuously until it turns a deep brown colour, about 10-15 minutes.
2. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic to the roux. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
3. Cook the Andouille Cajun: Add the sliced Franconian Andouille Cajun sausages to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld.
4. Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, Cajun seasoning, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring the gumbo to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
5. Include Okra: Add the okra to the gumbo, and continue to simmer for an additional 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve and Garnish: Remove the bay leaves. Serve the gumbo over cooked white rice, garnished with chopped parsley and sliced green onions.
