Gumbo with Cod Recipe
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”.

  1. Prepare the products. Gumbo can be prepared with any sea fish – walleye, cod, dorado, flounder, sea bass. The main thing is that there are no small bones in the fish. I have a cod fillet. Rinse the rice in several waters, put it in a saucepan with cold water and leave for 30 minutes. Drain the water. Pour a large amount of fresh water into a saucepan, bring to a boil over high heat and cook for 7 minutes. Reduce the heat and cook for another 10 minutes. Put the rice in a colander and let it dry.
  2. While the rice is cooking, prepare the vegetables, wash them and peel them. Pepper cut into small cubes, celery – thin slices. Peel and finely chop the onion. Defrost the beans at room temperature and dry them.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan, add flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes.
  4. Put the sweet pepper, celery and onion in the flour mixture and cook, stirring, for another 6 minutes.
