Here's what you need to know about the dish. It's filling while low calorie. The final version, not the one depicted in the video, lands at 256 calories per portion. It's really decent on a cold day.
Gumbo shouldn't be hard. Some people out there want to make it difficult and complicate the living shit out of it, but there really is no need. It's a rustic dish, with the Creole Trinity, meat, and okra. I can't say it's thickened with roux since the roux is cooked so dark there's little thickening power remaining, but I can say it's imbued with the rich, intriguing "Soul of the Swamp" by the dark roux.
Today I’m thinking about chili. I don’t have a chili recipe. I barely have a method, because it’s just not something we eat a lot of. My method, is basically a Texas Red (no beans) with a molé vibe. It'd beefy. It's rich. It's mysterious.
It's also undocumented so I need to fix that before it gets deported.
