Easy Stove Top Gumbo Roux (video)

Here is a simple roux made with 1 cup of canola oil and 1 cup of all-purpose flour. I put together this video before the name change (from a blog to a website domain). The new name is RealCajunCooking.com. From the time that I produced the video I did some research on Canola oil and after learning all about it, I refuse to ever use it again. Instead, I use peanut oil or butter.

I attained the chocolate-color in less than 20 minutes. The trick is to keep stirring and watch your heat.
