New Orleanians unite against the frigid temperatures we’re facing and do what we do best: Make gumbo.
Most of us have family recipes for chicken and sausage or seafood gumbo, so we looked deep into our archive of recipes to find a few less common recipes to try. (You can look, too. Just go to NOLA.com/food and type gumbo into the recipe name field.)
If you are stuck inside all day, a big pot of homemade gumbo bubbling on the stove will warm the kitchen and add moisture and flavorful smells to the heat-dry air. It’s a win-win.
Yes, for most of us, these recipes will require a trip to the grocery (brrrr), but then you and yours can sit down to a steamy bowl that will warm you to your very soul.
(Or, hey, just go to your favorite gumbo spot. This one pictured above is from Neyow's Creole Cafe on Bienville Street. I can vouch for it.)
