Today, October 12, 2022 is National Gumbo Day. It’s a time to appreciate this heavily seasoned, savory state dish of Louisiana.
Gumbo typically consists of strongly-flavored stock with meat or shellfish, a thickener (roux), and seasoned vegetables. The seasoned vegetables may include celery, bell peppers, and onions. In the Cajun cuisine, the trio is known as the holy trinity. Most people serve gumbo over rice.
Gumbo is a perfect bit of indulgence any day, anywhere, but today it is really special. So, curl up on the couch and enjoy this great culinary delight yourself, or share the flavors on National Gumbo Day with family and friends.
