Shrimp and Andouille Gumbo with a Deep, Savory Roux
Ingredients:

3/4 cup (170 g) unsalted butter

1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour

1 large yellow onion, finely chopped

2 celery ribs, finely chopped

1 large green bell pepper, finely chopped

2 teaspoons minced garlic

10 cups (2.4 liters) beef or chicken broth

14 oz (400 g) andouille sausage, sliced

14.5 oz (411 g) can stewed tomatoes

6 oz (170 g) tomato sauce

2 tablespoons hot sauce

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

4 bay leaves

4 teaspoons gumbo filé powder, divided

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

3 lb (1.36 kg) peeled and deveined medium shrimp

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Cooked white rice, for serving

Fresh parsley or sliced green onions, for garnish

Directions:

Melt the butter in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-low heat. Gradually whisk in the flour until completely smooth.

Continue stirring the roux frequently and patiently for about 30 to 40 minutes, until it develops a rich, deep brown color. Watch carefully because a burnt roux will need to be replaced.

Once the roux reaches the desired color, remove the pot from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Add the onion, celery, green bell pepper, and garlic to the pot. Return it to medium-low heat and cook for about 8 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften.

Slowly whisk in the broth to create a smooth, thickened base. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring to prevent the roux from settling.

Reduce the heat and add the sliced andouille sausage, stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, hot sauce, sugar, Cajun seasoning, thyme, and bay leaves.

Cover partially and simmer gently for about 45 minutes, allowing the vegetables, sausage, and spices to develop a deep flavor.

Stir in 2 teaspoons of gumbo filé powder and continue simmering for another 15 minutes.

Remove the bay leaves. Add the shrimp and Worcestershire sauce, then cook gently until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and cooked through, about 5 to 8 minutes.

Stir in the remaining gumbo filé powder. Taste and adjust with salt, black pepper, or additional hot sauce as desired.

Ladle the gumbo over hot cooked white rice and garnish with fresh parsley or sliced green onions.

Serve immediately with warm cornbread for a hearty Southern-inspired meal.

Beef Shank Tacos (Chambarete or Chamorro)
Easy and Homemade

Beef shank tacos are those simple tacos that are bursting with flavor. The shank, also known as beef shank or beef chamorro with bone, is slowly cooked until tender, juicy, and with that special touch of bone marrow, which gives it a deep and delicious flavor.

Ingredients

1 kg beef shank, cut into chunks with bone

½ onion

2 cloves of garlic

Salt to taste

2 bay leaves, optional

Warm corn tortillas

Chopped cilantro

Chopped onion

Green, red, or árbol chili salsa

Lime wedges

Preparation

1. Cook the shank

Place the shank in a pot with enough water. Add the onion, garlic, salt to taste, and bay leaves. Cook over medium heat for 1½ to 2 hours, until the meat is very tender and easily falls off the bone. 1. You can also cook it in a pressure cooker for approximately 45 minutes.

2. Prepare the meat

When the meat is ready, remove it from the broth. You can serve the pieces whole or shred the meat to make it easier to assemble the tacos. If you want more flavor, sauté the meat for a few minutes in a hot pan with a little fat or oil.

3. Use the bone marrow

Remove some of the bone marrow from the center of the bone and add it to the meat. It will give it a more intense, smooth, and very tasty flavor.

4. Assemble the tacos

Warm the corn tortillas well. Place the beef shank on top, add bone marrow if desired, onion, cilantro, salsa, and a few drops of lime juice.
