CHEF JOHN>>>> if you have to put gumbo in quotes. Then don t no roux=not gumbo. I know non-Cajuns will come at me for my comment but I guess you can be the Dumbo of your faux gumbo!
This is definitely a good way of finding out how many all your followers are from Louisiana. We will raise our tiny cayenne crusted fists and rail against if a gumbo should have tomatoes in it not sure what will happen when you take out the ROUX!
I am still a huge fan but if you make Jambalaya with cauliflower rice, I will begin to question my fandom.

I find it very interesting how we as humans have been able to transcend our respective cultures.
In Ivory Coast, we have a dish called sauce Gombo (Okra in French is Gombo, I bet Americans don't know why this particular dish is called gumbo.
It's all about the Okra. A vegetable which is used in abundance in West Africa.
Btw, the okra makes the soup very thick and gooey naturally, no need to add the rue as they do in the west.

Love this economical and tasty soup recipe! It s going on the meal plan for next week. I think I would sub out the thighs for 4-6 drumsticks and then fish them out and take the meat off and the bones and return the meat to the pot. I think I ll have sourdough garlic bread and salad on the side. Yummy!

I love this idea! As others have said, I have more lentils in my pantry than I know what to do with. Gumbo to the rescue. My favorite is with shrimp and ham because they're both fairly easy to source and not hugely expensive where I live.

We Cubans have a similar dish. We call it Potaje de Lenteja (Lentil stew. We use a variety of ingredients but one of the best additions is little sausages, chorizo, ham and salted pork. So amazing! Thank you for another incredible vid.

NO! I rarely can fault Chef John but gumbo is the original African term for what we now call okra, NOT the inclusion of a roux. How about just calling this one lentil and sausage soup because it has no roux?

that looks wonderful! lentils are a complete protein, so this would be a great vegetarian dish, and cheap too! i would probably go with sausage and shrimp, cuz chicken is boring.

Imagine how much nicer that soup would look and taste with some chopped carrots and a few chopped deseeded tomatoes? (German style use Landjaeger instead of Andoille.

Just double-checking everyone saw that the word Gumbo is in quotation marks, since this is in no way actual gumbo. It's like when I'm at a party, and I tell people I'm a chef.

Perfect timing, I'm adding more fiber to my diet. Lentils are very helpful. I'll show this to my roomie. She'll be sold on it by just adding the Bay leaf.

Dearest Chef John,
I would like to beg to differ with you on the thickening agent being the lentils. It is most likely the OKRA.
Yes, the okra!

A pressure cooker probably cuts the time down on this a good bit, though a dutch oven would have a wider base for sauteeing all those ingredients.

YAY the return of Cayenne. If you had skipped it this time I was going to ask Who are you and what have you done with the real Chef John

in some parts of the world if you make this everyone will call it a stew. Looks tasty and i will definitely make it. But probably with beans.

Does that amount of okra provide much (or any) thickening? Thanks (because I want to be the Detective Columbo. of my Green Lentil Gumbo)

So excited for all the Louisiana gatekeepers in the comments! Only region on earth that acts like they own the copyright to the cuisine.

_Nice work, Chef John. I wonder: Ever taken a crack at French-Canadian Yellow Split--Pea Soup? Would love to see your take on it. _
