LEAH CHASE'S GUMBO Z'HERBES



Leah Chase's Gumbo Z'Herbes image

The story of Leah Chase reads like a social history of New Orleans. Creole-born across Lake Pontchartrain, she started waitressing in 1941-part of the first group of female servers in the French Quarter-when the men were off at war. In '46, she began working at her in-laws' restaurant, Dooky Chase's, where jazz greats such as Ray Charles, Duke Ellington, and Sarah Vaughan would congregate. "There was no place else for them to eat when they came to town," Leah said. Then in the 1960s, with desegregation, Leah began "learning what they were doing on the other side," in places like Commander's Palace, where her clientele now had the opportunity to dine. For her, the strength of the SFA is its ability to transcend borders and bring people together over food. Every year on the Thursday before Easter, she used to cook up to 100 gallons of her Gumbo Z'Herbes, made with nine different types of greens. All of New Orleans, from Catholics to Jews, whites to blacks, would flock to her gumbo pot en masse. "The best way to know people is through food," she says. "Get them to talk about food. Talk over food. It might be about food, but you're also talking about issues."

Time 2h50m

Yield Makes 10 to 12 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

5 cups chopped mustard greens
5 cups chopped collard greens
5 cups chopped turnip greens
3 cups chopped beet tops (5 oz.)
2 cups chopped cabbage
2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
2 cups chopped watercress
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped spinach
1 cup chopped carrot tops (1½ oz.)
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 pound smoked sausage, diced
1/2 pound smoked ham, diced
1/2 pound uncooked beef brisket, diced
1/2 pound dry Spanish chorizo or andouille sausage, diced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons table salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/2 teaspoon filé powder
Hot cooked rice

Steps:

  • Combine first 11 ingredients and water to cover in a 15-qt. stockpot; cover. Bring to a boil over high heat (about 20 minutes). Uncover; boil, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes. Drain, reserving cooking liquid. Coarsely chop greens.
  • Combine smoked sausage and next 2 ingredients in pot with 2 cups reserved cooking liquid. Bring to a boil. Boil, stirring once, 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook chorizo in hot oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes or until browned. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels, reserving 3 Tbsp. drippings in skillet.
  • Make a roux: Stir flour into reserved drippings with a wooden spoon, and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until flour is medium brown (about 15 minutes; see "Master the Art of Making Roux," page 5, as a guide). Add flour mixture to mixture in stockpot, and stir well. Add chopped greens mixture and 5 cups reserved cooking liquid. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes. Stir in salt, thyme, red pepper, and chorizo. Cook, stirring occasionally, 40 minutes. Stir in filé powder; stir vigorously. Serve over hot cooked rice.

GUMBO Z'HERBES



Gumbo Z'herbes image

This hearty vegetable gumbo is traditionally eaten on Holy Thursday to fortify worshipers for Good Friday, a day of fasting and abstinence from meat. I've seen recipes that contain everything from chicken wings to spicy chaurice sausage (a Cajun cousin of chorizo) to smoked brisket. Custom also dictates that the gumbo is supposed to have an odd number of greens--five or seven or nine and as many as fifteen--for luck. Many recipes include foraged herbs such as peppergrass, as well as the green tops from radishes, carrots, and beets. Leah Chase, the Grande Dame of NOLA, is world famous for her Gumbo Z'herbes. At her restaurant, Dooky Chase, there are three lunch seatings on Holy Thursday, serving nearly five hundred guests. Most recipes are quite the production, featuring multiple pots and pureeing vast quantities of simmered greens. I've streamlined the recipe by using baby greens and prechopped greens to avoid pureeing them at the end. Aim for the odd number in any combination of "z'herbes" you'd like. This amount of liquid is suitable for 3 pounds of greens.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

6 tablespoons pure olive oil, canola oil, or rendered bacon fat
1 pound chaurice, fresh chorizo, or hot pork Italian sausage, removed from casing
16 ounces andouille sausage, sliced
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 sweet onion, chopped
1 poblano pepper, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
6 garlic cloves
2 quarts homemade chicken stock, reduced-fat low-sodium chicken broth, or water
1 smoked ham hock (about 8 ounces)
1 (16-ounce) bag chopped collard greens, or 1 (1 1/2-pound) bunch collard greens, stems removed and leaves coarsely chopped
1 (12-ounce) bag chopped kale or baby kale
1 (16-ounce) box baby spinach leaves
1/2 cabbage (about 8 ounces), cored and thinly sliced
6 green onions, chopped
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
Coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Hot sauce, for serving
Cooked white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add both kinds of sausage; cook until the sausage is cooked through and the fat has rendered, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the meat to a plate.
  • Add the remaining 5 tablespoons oil to the pot. Add the flour and cook, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until deep golden brown, about 15 minutes. Add the onion, poblano, and celery and cook, stirring often, until onion is translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds. Add the stock and stir to combine.
  • Plop the ham hock in and bring to a boil over high heat. Return the chorizo and andouille to the pot. Add the collard greens, kale, spinach, cabbage, green onions, and thyme. (You may need to let the greens cook a bit between additions so they will all fit in the pot. Don't be tempted to add additional liquid too soon: It's easy to add but hard to remove, and you want the gumbo to be dense and like stew, not soup.) Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook until the greens are tender, about 45 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Add hot sauce to taste. Serve ladled over cooked white rice with hot sauce on the side.
