spoke to Dale Shipp about Re: Dr. Pepper <=-
that they were "Dr. Pepper cakes". Neither of us would knowingly buy
Dr. Pepper anything.
You don't like the taste of Dr. Pepper....? :)
Nope -- and not for lack of trying it.
Not so sure about this one. I don't see how this relates to gumbo.
Title: Chicken Wings Gumbo Style
Maybe the assortment of vegetables....? I'd thought gumbo was
supposed to have okra in it, though.... Maybe that's why they just said gumbo-style...?
Not all gumbos have okra, even though there are those who swear by it.
There is a claim/statement that gumbo is the African word for okra (or
at least in some part of Africa). It is supposed to provide a
thickening to the gumbo, as is also said of file powder. I'll use file
powder, but not enough to give much thickening by itself.

Title: Smoked Chicken And Pepperoni Gumbo
Categories: D/g, Cajun, Chicken
Yield: 6 servings
-Spice mixture:
1/4 ts White pepper
1/4 ts Red pepper
1/2 ts Black pepper
1/2 ts Thyme
1 ts Dry parsley flakes
1/2 ts Gumbo file powder
-(optional)
-Vegetables:
2 c Onion
2 c Green pepper
2 c Celery
-meats:
2 Smoked chicken breasts.
12 Inches pepperoni.
-broth:
6 c Chicken broth
**One hour to prep
1/2 hour to get to simmer
1/2 hour on slow simmer
Ready time to table = 2 hours.
Prepare vegetables.
Cut half in larger hunks (say 1/2 inch) and cut rest
in fine chop (or use food processor).
Meats:
two smoked chicken breasts, pulled from bone, skinned and
pulled into bite size pieces by hand. If you do not have smoked
chicken, you may get away with using a small amount of liquid
smoke. I would guess no more than 1/4 teaspoon.
one stick (about 12 inches) pepperoni, cut into moderately
thick slices. (say 1/8 inch or about twice as thick as presliced
pizza pepperoni usually is)
Preparation:
Using cast iron dutch oven, take the large cut onions and
singe them over medium high heat in the dry pan for about 3-4
minutes, stirring constantly. Then add the rest of the vegetables
and cook for about 5 minutes more on medium heat, stirring
frequently. Then add spice mixture and stir to incorporate. Stir
in about 2 tablespoon dry roux. Add the broth and the pepperoni
slices. Turn heat down to medium low and simmer for at least 1/2
hour or until vegetables are tender and flavors are merged. About
5 minutes before serving, add the chunks of chicken breasts to
the mixture. At the same time, add more roux to thicken if
desired.
Serve in bowl over lots of rice.
For additional smoke flavor, wrap the chicken bones
and skin in cheese cloth and place in the mixture at the same time
as the pepperoni. Remove all the bones and all the skin before
stirring in the chicken pieces.
Makes 8 to 10 servings.
