Servings: persons

1 cup oil
1 cup flour
2 large onions, chopped
2 bell peppers, chopped
4 celery ribs, chopped
4 -6 garlic cloves, minced
4 quarts chicken stock
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons creole seasoning
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 large chicken, cut into pieces
2 lbs andouille sausages or 2 lbs smoked sausage, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 bunch scallion, tops only, chopped (green onions)
2/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
file powder

1
Season the chicken with salt, pepper and Creole seasoning and brown quickly. Brown the sausage, pour off fat and reserve meats.
2
In a large, heavy pot, heat the oil and cook the flour in the oil over medium to high heat (depending on your roux-making skill), stirring constantly, until the roux reaches a dark reddish-brown color, almost the color of coffee or milk chocolate for a Cajun-style roux. If you want to save time, or prefer a more New Orleans-style roux, cook it to a medium, peanut-butter color, over lower heat if you're nervous about burning it.
3
Add the vegetables and stir quickly. This cooks the vegetables and also stops the roux from cooking further. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for about 4 minutes.
4
Add the stock, seasonings, chicken and sausage. Bring to a boil, then cook for about one hour, skimming fat off the top as needed.
5
Add the chopped scallion tops and parsley, and heat for 5 minutes. Add file powder to taste just before serving. This also acts as a thickening agent. Serve over rice in large shallow bowls. Accompany with a good beer and lots of hot, crispy French bread.
