However, I must say that as much as I adore Alton Brown, an hour and a half is a LONG time to spend making a roux! The gumbo-pot stirring method, while briefly labor-intensive, is, well, brief.
The trick is to keep stirring the stuff the whole time and not look away even for a moment. Sort of fun if you're in the right mood.
Talking about cajun food is making me very hungry and now I want to make etouffee.
