A classic Louisiana-style gumbo, built on a dark roux and loaded with chicken and sausage. This recipe starts by pre-cooking the meats, then building the roux with olive oil and flour before simmering with vegetables and broth. The filé powder is stirred in at the very end, giving it that characteristic thickening and earthy flavor. Serve it hot over rice with a side of crusty bread.
