premade Roux in a jar question - Savoie (1 Viewer)

[zeetes]

If you're going to use that canned stuff, you should just pour all your canned chicken stock in the pot with your sauteed veg and add the roux as it's boiling till you get as thick as you want.

i only use stock

i have a local roux jar, "kary's roux" out of ville platte. it smells great. very close to my grandpa's roux and my mother-in-law's roux.

Oof, it's Khary's I'm using. I got the Savoys andouille in my head. This stuff works great.

let me start by saying, i don't really care for rice, well regular rice by itself. it tastes like flavourless pieces of whatever trying to be an accent to foods like chinese/asian food. pointless.

gumbo (seafood and chicken & andouille) are examples of my absolute favourite foods i love. i like rice with them, and also jambalaya. neither rice is flavourless. both rice dishes have a full flavour, making them fantastic. otherwise, rice that is plain (even drenched with soy) is just not worth my palette.

Rice is one of the most delicious foods on earth, but it has to be cooked properly and you have to use salt for it to have any flavor.

i don't like rice (well, most rice), but i do enjoy it with the right meal.

i'll eat it with gumbo, jambalaya, some other dishes, but white rice? not a huge fan, at least as a semi-complement to other foods. chinese food is a good example. i'd rather eat honey shrimp without rice, spicy pork, hunan, etc. without it.

Funny. I don't particularly want rice with gumbo, but white rice on its own as a side is one of my favorites. And I'm not talking about uncle ben's modified jacked up instarice. Real live rice that takes 30 minutes to cook or properly done sushi rice with the bottom crispy brown....

Oh, I forgot. Is Honey Shrimp really Chinese food?

You ever tried potato salad in your gumbo?

I don't like rice in my jambalaya.

i sometimes use kary's dark roux, half a jar per big pot. discard the separated oil

Generic white rice is pretty worthless. Black and French red rice are spectacular rices. Jasmine and bismati are my go to rices generally. But after talking and eating and drinking way too much wine with a friend of mine paella rice is incredible and becoming a favorite to use as it absorbs way more flavor in a dish than any other rice I’ve cooked with.
