Grilled Meats Creole Gumbo

Grilled Meats Creole Gumbo is a West Coast take on a Louisiana classic.  Made with a roux, flavorful and hearty Grilled Meats Creole Gumbo incorporates the “Holy Trinity” ingredients of Louisiana’s Creole and Cajun cuisines, along with okra, the all-important seasonings, crab meat and shrimp. When making the roux, especially if you’ve never made one before, prepare a roux that is a deep café au lait color which will yield a deep flavor base to the gumbo. Start out with a Grilled Radicchio and Arugula Salad, then serve Grilled Meats Creole Gumbo with a Louisiana-style hot sauce, filé powder, sliced scallions and optional white rice at the table, accompanied by a Barolo, Cabernet Sauvignon or even Chianti for a memorable weekend dinner.  Leftover Grilled Meats Creole Gumbo can be refrigerated in an air-tight container for up to five days without any diminishing of its flavor.
