South Louisiana is famous worldwide for the rich stew we call gumbo. Our Camellia Brand Gumbo Cajun Roux Base is a perfect blend of authentic Cajun spices and vegetables you can use to easily prepare a delicious gumbo from scratch.
What is the difference between gumbo base and gumbo roux?
A roux is the base of numerous Cajun and creole dishes. Etouffee is usually a 1 beer roux while a full fledged gumbo is a 2 to 3 beer roux. Obviously meaning how long it takes to DRINK the beer. The cook time will vary depending on how dark you want your gravy.
How do you use Cajun gumbo base?
In 4 quart pot, add 2 quarts of cold chicken stock or water to Cajun Gumbo Base Mix and cooked meat. When mix is dissolved, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Serve over cooked rice, pasta or grits and enjoy.
What gives gumbo its flavor?
Most gumbos use two distinctive ingredients to thicken and flavor them: roux and either okra or filé powder.
All authentic Louisiana meats and specialties from CajunFood.com are prepared according to generational bayou recipes. Here are our smokehouse pitmaster guidelines for best flavor:
Submerge links in barely simmering water (do not boil hard or casings will burst) for 10–12 minutes until heated through (internal temp 160°F).
Preheat to 375°F. Lightly brush casings with butter or oil. Cook for 10–14 minutes, turning halfway through until the skin is delightfully crispy.
Place over indirect, medium-low heat on pecan or hickory coals. Turn frequently for 8–10 minutes until casings are taut and lightly charred.
Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Transfer to a heavy Dutch oven or saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until hot and bubbling.

Living in Colorado, finding real Louisiana boudin and smoked meats is impossible. CajunFood shipped this packed hard in dry ice. Steamed it in a pot for 12 minutes and the rice/pork balance and cayenne spice level were perfection.
Was skeptical about ordering frozen food in the summer heat, but the cooler had plenty of dry ice remaining. Air fried at 375°F for 12 mins and had the crispiest, juiciest sausage links ever.
My family is from St. Martinville. This is the real deal—no fillers, authentic seasonings, and great smoke flavor. CajunFood is my go-to online store now.
