What does file do for gumbo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

My personal taste has me sprinkling file over the top of my gumbo...not cooking with it.

The sassafras (file) does it's work as the Gumbo cools, so add after cooking. 1/2 tsp per quart should be sufficient to thicken and flavor gumbo or soup.

Is jambalaya flammable?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As there are some variants of jambalaya that contain alcohols, I would say yes, jambalaya can accidentally catch fire. If one would want to intentionally set jambalaya ablaze, they could always add a splash of liquor atop the jambalaya. However, this should only be done by an educated chef, in a controlled environment with a fire extinguisher at the ready. Setting fire to food for the purposes of visual wonder, should only be done by professionals.

Should you reheat left out gumbo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I wouldn't eat it. It sat too long in the danger zone of 40˚F - 140˚F. CDC, USDA et al recommend that food be left out no more than 2 hours.

There are better ways to cool food. 1. break it up into small batches 2. put the pan containing the food into a cold water bath to quickly cool it. 3. if it's a small quantity, put it directly into the fridge or the freezer.

Asked by Wiki User

Gumbo originated in New Orleans, Louisiana and was created by the French, but enhanced by contributions of several cultures. These cultures included the Cajuns (first known as the Canadian immigrants), the French, Choctaw tribesmen, African-Americans, Spaniards, Italians, and Germans. The dish itself is based on the French soup known as bouillabaisse. However, the dish's name is from the French interpretation of the West African name of okra.

How do you get rid of bitter taste in gumbo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Gumbo can be bitter if you burn the roux. Gumbo should be slow cooked all day to allow the spices and vegetable flavors to meld. The juice may taste bitter at first but will improve over time and after you add you main ingredients, i.e., seafood or chicken and sausage, etc. Do not add file' to the pot. Add it after it is served. A little bit goes a long way. Too much file' will make the gumbo groppy.

Asked by Wiki User

The US Food Code recommends that potentially hazardous food be cooled from 140°F to 70°F within 2 hours, then further chilled to 40°F within another 4 hours. So after 2 hours, the food should either be reheated to 165°F or placed in the fridge to cool further.

Why is gumbo called gumbo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Gumbo is a soup or stew made in Louisiana that can be made with a Roux which is flour and grease browned together and then when you get it as dark as you want it, then you add water or broth. You always have the trinity which is onion, bell pepper, and celery sauteed in it, and you add tomatoes. Okra is optional. Then, depending on what kind of gumbo you are making you add seafood, duck, chicken, alligator, sausage, or any combination of things, and cook it several hours and traditionally it is served over rice or you can have it as a delicious soup.

When do you add the file powder to gumbo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

file powder is usually added at the last minute before serving or left to be added separately by person in their bowl.... if file powder is added to early into your gumbo it may become "stringy" and lets say separate in a way.... extra tip when adding roux to stock make sure one of them is warm while the other is in room temp and mix lil by lil..... so it wont clump...... chefboimanny
