Prep vegetables and beans
Cutting Board
Chef's knife

Prep the vegetables by dicing the yellow onion, green bell pepper, and celery; slice the mushrooms, mince the garlic, and rinse and drain the kidney beans.

Use a stable cutting board and keep fingers clear of the chef's knife while chopping and slicing.

1 Count yellow onion
1 Count green bell pepper
2 Count celery
12 Ounce mushrooms
3 Count garlic
1 Can kidney beans
2
Make the roux
Whisk
Wooden spoon
Large heavy pot

Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat, then whisk in the flour until smooth; cook the roux, stirring often, until it is deep golden brown and smells toasty, about 10 to 12 minutes.

Stir the roux carefully because the hot oil and flour mixture can splatter and burn.

1/3 Cup vegetable oil
1/3 Cup wheat flour
3
Cook the Cajun trinity
Wooden spoon
Large heavy pot

Add the yellow onion, green bell pepper, and celery to the roux; stir constantly for 2 minutes to coat the Cajun trinity, then cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

1 Count yellow onion
1 Count green bell pepper
2 Count celery
4
Add mushrooms and seasoning
Wooden spoon
Large heavy pot

Stir in the cremini mushrooms, garlic, and Cajun seasoning; cook until the mushrooms release moisture and begin to brown at the edges, about 6 to 8 minutes.

12 Ounce mushrooms
3 Count garlic
2 Tablespoon cajun seasoning
5
Add broth and simmer
Whisk
Wooden spoon
Large heavy pot

Gradually whisk in the vegetable broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen the roux and prevent lumps; bring the gumbo to a steady simmer.

5 Cup vegetable broth
6
Simmer with beans
Wooden spoon
Large heavy pot

Stir in the kidney beans and kosher salt; simmer uncovered until the gumbo is thickened and hearty, about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

1 Can kidney beans
1/2 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
7
Season and serve
Wooden spoon

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional kosher salt or Cajun seasoning if needed, then spoon the gumbo over warm cooked white rice and serve hot.

1/2 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
2 Tablespoon cajun seasoning
4 Cup white rice
