Gumbo des herbes from The Encyclopedia of Cajun & Creole Cuisine by Chef John D. Folse

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • TrishaCP on June 30, 2018

    This recipe is from Leah Chase, and is supposedly the best gumbo des herbes recipe. (Though Mrs. Chase's gumbo des herbes recipe is also in One Big Table, and is different. Hmmmm....I went with this one because it included the trinity, omitted in the One Big Table version.) I loved the greens, but this was a bit meat forward for me and I prefer the version in the Food of New Orleans where the greens aren't pureed. I used collards, turnip greens, radish greens, carrot greens, arugula, chard, and kale. It was too late in the summer for mustard greens when I made this, and I definitely missed them here.
