New Orleans Style Gumbo Z'Herbes: Guest Post for Jeroxie: Addictive and Consuming


 Penny aka Jeroxie recently surprised me by asking me to do a guest post for her awesome blog, Addictive & Consuming. How cool is that! So I cooked up something from my very favorite place in the whole U.S of A.: New Orleans, Louisiana.


I made a gumbo z'herbes - a meatless, flavor-packed gumbo that's a big hit with carnivores and vegetarians alike. I made a roux:

 

Used a lot of herbs and spices:



Tons of greens:


And of course a whole lot of love! Wanna know how? Go check out my guest post at Addictive & Consuming. And please come back and tell me what you thought. Don't forget your hot sauce!

  3. Oh, I love a good Southern food post! We will be sure to try this one on for size, Trixie girl. (Plus I just bought some Cajun Spice and File Powder from Penzey's! (Did you use file? Maybe not, I need to head over to the post to see it!)
    Looks YUM!

  10. yep...you got it going, more flavor than even I would have stirred the pot with - great, just great - a favorite of mine, like to use every green I can find when I make this one (and bacon too)...nice roux too
