Because I'm a moron and somehow posted this in the wrong gumbo thread last night and for posterity's sake:
Cross-posted from the shit I cooked lately thread (Easter edition).
I saw an Instagram video where someone did this and decided it could not possibly be anything but delicious. Gumbo Pot Pie. I made a stock on Monday. Last night, I made the pie crust and did an oven roux ahead of time. Then, while transferring the roux from the cast iron pan to a mason jar, I knocked over the jar and spilled roux all over the counter, which sucked for two reasons---I lost my roux and what an awful mess.
Got up this morning and started another oven roux (I'm convinced these have more positive contributions to the final product than the old stand-and-stir. Did all my prep, and had the gumbo ready by 4 pm. Ate some for dinner and put together the rice and gumbo mixture for the pie. This is the biggest variable and I oped for more meat that liquid and tried to keep the rice in a good balance. But it is more rice heavy than I'd have it in a bowl.
Anyway, I'll post the final picture when it's reheated, sliced and served tomorrow.
