  1. Prep- cut your veggies and meats in advance. Sausage in rounds, okra in rounds, celery, onion, and bell pepper diced. garlic minced.

  2. Make your roux- combine the oil and flour in a light colored bottom pot and put in medium heat. Stir, stir, stir until the color of milk chocolate or a dirty penny. Stop a couple shades before your end goal, as residual heat will continue to brown in. Turn heat off, and keep stirring til cool. (check jess pryles for shade chart)
