How To Cook A Husband Recipes

Steps:

Cook and stir the chopped bacon in the skillet until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes, remove the bacon, and set aside. Stir the okra into the hot bacon drippings, and cook and stir until the okra is tender, about 5 minutes. Drain the okra in a colander, and discard bacon drippings.

Remove the vegetables but leave the butter in the pot. Stir in the flour, reduce heat to low, and cook the roux, stirring constantly, until it turns the color of milk chocolate, 30 to 45 minutes. Do not let the roux burn.
• When the roux reaches its correct color, whisk in 2 cups of water. Raise the heat to medium; stir in salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, thyme, and bay leaves, bring the mixture to a boil, and stir in the sausage, bacon, okra-tomato mixture, and 6 more cups of water. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer the gumbo, stirring occasionally, until the soup has thickened and the flavors are blended, about 45 minutes. Stir in the shrimp, and simmer until they turn pink and opaque, 6 to 8 more minutes. Discard bay leaves and adjust the seasonings, if desired, before serving.

Steps:

• A good many husbands are entirely spoiled by management by cooking some are not tender and good. Some women keep them constantly in hot water, others freeze them, others put them in stew. others roast them, others keep them constantly in a pickle. It can not be supposed that any husband will be tender and good if managed in this way, but they are truly delicious if properly treated. Don't keep them in kettle by force, as he will stay there himself if proper care is taken. If he should sputter and fuzz, don't be anxious, some husbands do this, add a little sugar in the variety of what confectioners' call kisses, but on no account add any vinegar or pepper. A little spice improves him, but must be used with judgement. Don't try him with something sharp to see if he's becoming tender. Stir gently, lest he lie too long in kettle and become tasteless. Above all don't let him get hard boiled. If you follow these directions, you will find him digestable, agreeing nicely with you and he will keep as long as you want him to keep
