In a large heavy Dutch oven or cast iron skillet over medium heat stir together the flour and oil, and cook, whisking constantly, until flour is a rich copper color (about 20 minutes--don't leave it or stop whisking for a second!). Remove from heat immediately so it won't burn and proceed with gumbo recipe below.Gumbo: Prepared Roux (see recipe)9 cans (14 1/2-oz. each) chicken broth2 c. chopped onions1 c. chopped celery2 green bell peppers, seeds removed, chopped1 can (16-oz.) diced tomatoes1 bag (16-oz.) frozen sliced okra1 ring (1 lb.) of cooked smoked sausage, sliced 1/4-inch thick1 Tbsp.
