Gumbo or Gumbo is an American cuisine dish common in the state of Louisiana. This is a thick soup with spices, similar in consistency to a stew. It is considered a legacy of the cuisine of the Cajuns, descendants of French immigrants who arrived in Canada in the XVIII century. Gumbo can be thick, like a stew, and served on a rice pad, or it can be more liquid, like soup. I have prepared the second option based on a recipe from the magazine “Gostronom”.
