If you know anything about New Orleans’ signature dish, gumbo, you might be surprised to learn that you can eat other things with it.
That’s right. Gumbo is not necessarily a full meal. You can easily make two or three other things to serve with it on another plate.
What To Make With Gumbo?
Gumbo takes a lot of ingredients to make, so the price tag could run upward of $50. But there’s more money to be spent when you think about making a full meal.
Here are some other things you can cook along with gumbo.
Cornbread
Making cornbread is one of the most tasty breads you can make. If you have some gumbo, cornbread is just perfect with it because you can absorb quite a bit of roux with it.
Of course, many restaurants serve crackers with gumbo, but cornbread is actually a better option.
Potato Salad
A lot of people love to make potato salad with barbecue, but it goes pretty well with gumbo. The nice, cool taste of potato salad is an appropriate contrast to pair with gumbo.
If you do happen to go with potato salad, make sure you don’t have potato in any other dish. That way, you don’t have to overdo it with potatoes.
Salad
Another option to serve with gumbo is salad. A fresh Caesar salad or even a garden salad can be a great choice because gumbo can be quite overpowering when you consider it’s flavor and temprature.
A salad with Ranch dressing or something similar would work fine as an additional dish.
Final Word
Gumbo already is served with a nice heap of rice, so you won’t need too many side dishes. With that being said, a salad, potato salad and/or cornbread would be great additions.
Here are some places to get the best gumbo in New Orleans.
