Chicken and Sausage Gumbo

1 cup oil
1 cup flour
2 large onions, chopped
2 bell peppers, chopped
4 ribs celery, chopped
4 to 6 cloves garlic, minced
4 quarts chicken stock
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons Creole seasoning, or to taste
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 large chicken, cut into pieces
2 pounds andouille or smoked sausage, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 bunch green onions, tops only, chopped
2/3 cup fresh chopped parsley
filé powder to taste

Season the chicken with salt, pepper and Creole seasoning and brown
quickly. Brown the sausage, pour off fat and reserve meats.

In a large, heavy pot, heat the oil and cook the flour in the oil
over medium to high heat, stirring constantly, until the roux
reaches a dark reddish brown color, almost the color of coffee or
milk chocolate for a Cajun style roux.

If you want to save time, or prefer a more New Orleans style roux,
cook it to a medium, peanut butter color, over lower heat if you're
nervous about burning it.

Add the vegetables and stir quickly. This cooks the vegetables and
also stops the roux from cooking further. Continue to cook, stirring
constantly, for about 4 minutes.

Add the stock, seasonings, chicken and sausage. Bring to a boil,
then cook for about one hour, skimming fat off the top as needed.
Add the chopped scallion tops and parsley, and heat for 5 minutes.

Serve over rice in large shallow bowls. Accompany with a good beer
and lots of hot, crispy French bread.

12 servings.
