Tips
Gumbo is best served in deep plates or bowls, sprinkled with fresh parsley. It tastes perfect with a slice of fresh bread or crackers. Serve hot to enhance the richness of the flavors.
Leftover gumbo is best stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator, where it will stay fresh for 3-4 days. It can also be frozen in portions for up to 3 months. To reheat, it's best to use the stove on low heat, adding a little broth to restore the proper consistency.
