    @mclaincausey I keep a hunk of roux in my fridge at all times for exactly this sort of thing. I would caution you about using dark roux for demi though. Maybe a blonde or brown roux instead so it compliments the flavors rather than dominating. In cajun/creole cuisines, it's part of the flavor profile of finished dish like etouffe or gumbo.

    My favorite way to make a roux with as little effort as possible, is to mix one pound of melted butter and one pound of flour, and put it in a 350F oven for about an hour. Stir occasionally and remove from the oven to cool whenever you start getting a blond color and a nutty aroma. You can take it a little further if you want, but keep in mind that the longer a roux cooks, the less thickening power it has. It keeps in the fridge forever, so it's there when you need it.

      @seawolf Roger that, though you’d never use a dark roux in an etouffee at least in the Cajun/creole traditions. Cajun gumbo absolutely! I got it for chicken and andouille gumbo.

      Gotta try this oven trick thank you!!

      Think it, be it.

        @mclaincausey Fair point! I love a good gumbo.

        You bet!

          Dinner and a theater showing of National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. The white denim is in honor of cousin Eddy. The collar flipped up really sells it 😂 Just not in this photo
