You will need the following utensils for this gumbo recipe.
4 cup glass measuring cup
5 quart casserole dish
First the microwave roux
Ingredients
2/3 cup flour
2/3 cup oil
2 cups onion chopped
1 cup celery chopped
1/2 cup green pepper chopped
4 cloves garlic minced
1/4 cup parsley chopped
1/4 cup green onion tops chopped
1 cup hot water
Directions
Mix oil and four together in the 4 cup measure and microwave on high 6 minutes.
Stir at 6 minutes. Roux will not be dark enough at this point so cook another 30 seconds then stir.
Cook 30 seconds longer to get the dark brown color you need.
Be careful as the roux will be very hot. Usually the handle of the large measuring cup will not be hot but you should use a hot mitt just in case.
Add onion, celery and bell pepper to roux and cook on high for 3 minutes.
Add garlic, parsley and green onion to roux, stir and microwave two more minutes.
Remove from microwave and pour off any oil that has risen to the top.
Slowly add enough hot water while stirring and you will have a very good dark roux in about 12 minutes.
