Dinner

Instructions

  1. 1

    Brown the chicken and sliced sausage in a large heavy pot, then remove them and set aside.

  2. 2

    Using the leftover fat (add oil to reach 3/4 cup), whisk in flour and stir continuously over medium heat until the roux turns a deep peanut-butter brown.

  3. 3

    Add the chopped vegetables (trinity) and sauté until soft, about 5-8 minutes.

  4. 4

    Gradually pour in the chicken stock while whisking vigorously to avoid lumps. Bring to a gentle boil.

  5. 5

    Return the meats to the pot, add seasonings, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered for 1-1.5 hours.

  6. 6

    Skim excess fat off the top and serve steaming hot over cooked white rice, garnished with green onions.
