![]() In all honesty, I wanted to see if I could make a dark roux in the Instant Pot since I know jarred roux isn’t easily found in most non-Louisiana stores, but I could never get the roux dark enough…Īgain, if you’re gonna make a gumbo, it’s gotta be right.Īlso, the jarred roux cuts down on our time significantly, so let’s lean into it. (You can also use a homemade roux in this recipe, too! The time for the recipe does not include making your own roux, though.) Yes, it requires a substantial amount of chopping… but it doesn’t need nearly as much babysitting.Īlso, it cooks faster, and it has my favorite gumbo shortcut, which my husband’s grandmother shared with us a long time ago: a jarred roux.Īnd if jarred roux is good enough for Mimi, it’s good enough for us. So to start the year off strong, I wanted to share this magical easy gumbo recipe with y’all so that you can make this magic at home without working in the kitchen all day long. Why we love this Instant Pot gumbo recipe: There aren’t many shortcuts when it comes to making a gumbo… but I’ve found a way… and that way is in the electric pressure cooker.
