    Gumbo

    Ingredients

    * 1 whole chicken (I used a corn poularde)
    * 300g sausages (I used Polish sausages)
    * 100g onions
    * 100g celery
    * 100g green bell pepper
    * 3 garlic cloves
    * 300g water
    * 200g lard
    * 200g flour
    * dried thyme, bay leaves, parsley
    * salt, pepper, tabasco

    Method

    * Low-heat lard in a pot and gradually add flour, stir so it won’t burn (after 30 to 60 minutes the roux will have a medium brown color)
    * Cut the greens and add to the pot along with the herbs
    * Pull skin off chicken and discard; cut chicken into pieces; add to the pot along with the water, cook for 60 minutes
    * Remove the chicken, cut meat off bones and into small shreds, return meat to the pot
    * Add sausages, tabasco, salt and pepper, cook for 60 minutes, add water if necessary
