Slow-Simmered Chicken Gumbo Ya-Ya

Wasn't my family's favorite recipe. For anyone who is going to try it, I skipped the browning of the meats - you should definitely not skip this step. I also substituted green beans for the okra (not big okra fans) but I don't think that changed the flavor any and it gave it good color. It was just too much onion - it overwhelmed everything else - and an odd flavor overall.

Slow-Simmered Chicken Gumbo Ya-Ya

Made it over the weekend. Amount of chicken is too much and I'm not sure the browning of the chicken added to the flavor. Turkey sausage lacked flavor, so I may substitute it for something with more punch. The amount of tabasco could be increased. Otherwise very satisfying.

Slow-Simmered Chicken Gumbo Ya-Ya

Definitely add the shrimp! Next time, I will probably cut back on the sausage and increase the chicken. Otherwise, very easy to make and very good.
