Nutritional Information

Directions:

In a heavy bottom pot, whisk oil and flour over a medium heat.
Continuously whisk until dark brown (MawMaw always said as dark as a dirty penny), maybe 45 minutes.
Add the vegetables and sauté for a minute or so. It will create a big dough ball.
Start whisking the chicken stock little by little until it is well mixed.
Add the spices and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, add the chicken and sausage.
Simmer on low heat for about 2½ to 3 hours.
Serve over 1 cup rice.
Garnish with 1 slice of baguette.
