A few good
questions.
Find the option that fits your kitchen.
Is a jar of roux a finished gumbo?+
No. Roux supplies a base for gumbo, stew or gravy. You still add the liquid and other ingredients called for by your recipe, then cook the dish.
How is dry roux different from jar roux?+
Authentic Roux contains enriched wheat flour and soybean oil. Authentic Dry Roux is a dry blend of wheat flours with garlic, onion and caramel color. Both are mixed with water, but follow the directions for your chosen product rather than assuming the same quantity works for both.
What do I add to the prepared sauces?+
The Étouffée Sauce is intended for seafood or chicken. The Creole Sauce suggests your favorite seafood served over rice. Both sauces are fully cooked; follow the jar directions to cook the ingredients you add.
Are the roux and sauces suitable for every diet?+
Check each product’s current ingredient list and label. Authentic Roux declares wheat and soy; Authentic Dry Roux declares wheat. The prepared sauces list wheat, soy ingredients and chicken base, so do not assume they are gluten-free or vegetarian.
How much roux should I buy?+
Start with the amount and type of roux specified by your recipe, then choose a pack. Jar weight is not the finished yield of gumbo, and dry roux and jar roux should not be substituted by guesswork.
