Cajun Gumbo step by step
Firstly make a spice mix by mixing all your dry herbs and spices together. Turn your oven on to 220. using half the spices mix rub the chicken thighs with it and put into the oven until cooked through and a bit charred looking..
Next you need to make a roux with oil (not butter) and flour. This needs to be on a medium heat and stirred constantly for about 30-40 minutes until it goes a dark brown colour..
To your roux add the spices, onions, garlic, tomato paste and peppers and cook for about ten mins..
Next add your chicken stock to the pan..
Once your chicken is cooked, take out of the oven and using two forks shred it and pop into the pan. let cook for as long as you can. When you are ready to eat add your prawns and cook through..
