Dean and I went to the dinner theater in Loveland and the menu was fantastic. Everything we ate was so good. So, I decided to duplicate something I had that evening. I created my own recipe and was pleasantly surprised. Both Dean and I enjoyed the flavor and all of the ingredients in it. My favorite part was the kale - yum!
Chicken and Sausage Gumbo
1 roasted chicken, cut into chunks
1 lb. andouille sausage, cut into 1/2" chunks
1 bunch kale, washed, stems removed, torn into bite-size pieces
2 carrots, thinly sliced
1 bell pepper, diced
1 small red onion
5 garlic cloves, minced
2 cans diced tomatoes
4 c. chicken stock
2 t. creole seasoning
1 t. dried thyme
sea salt and pepper to taste
3 T. bacon fat
Heat bacon fat in large pot over medium high heat. Brown sausage. Remove sausage. Add garlic, onion, bell pepper to pot. Cook about 2 minutes or onion and pepper are soft. Add carrots, tomatoes, broth, seasoning. Bring to boil. Add chicken and sausage. Bring to boil. Turn heat down to low/medium low and simmer up to 1 hour. Add kale and cook for 5 minutes. Enjoy!
Way to go on making your recipe! Very impressive! I am going to copy this down and try it sometime...yum! By the way, what show did you see at the theater?
