DARK MICROWAVE CAJUN ROUX
This is my favorite way to make a dark roux for gumbo, shrimp stew, corned beef hash and to thicken any gravy. It is easy and will keep in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- 1. In a large microwave safe bowl, mix cooking oil and flour. Mix Well. Note, the mixture will boil over, so be sure to use a deep bowl.
- 2. Place in center of microwave and cook for 6 minutes on high then stir. Keep cooking at 6 minutes intervals and stir until mixture turns a deep chocolate brown.
- 3. Cook and stir in 1 minute intervals until roux turns a deep chocolate brown. Watch closely as it will start to burn. Caution, this is VERY hot.
- 4. Once roux is cool, store in refrigerator and use as needed. You may double this recipe. I keep it on hand to thicken gravy or to make dishes like my Shrimp Stew, Gumbo or Corn Beefed Hash.
MICROWAVE BROWN ROUX
Steps:
- In a 1-quart microwave-safe measuring cup or soufflé dish whisk together vegetable oil or rendered fat and flour until combined well. Microwave roux, uncovered, at high power (100%), whisking at 2-minute intervals, 8 minutes. If roux is not the dark reddish-brown color of chestnut shells, microwave at high power, whisking and checking color at 1-minute intervals, until roux reaches desired color. Roux may be made 1 week ahead, cooled completely, and chilled, covered. Reheat roux before using.
MICROWAVE ROUX
Many Cajun recipes start with the dreaded words "first make a roux" which bring terror to the hearts of many cooks. This recipe will relegate this fear to the past and you can surprise yourself as to how easy it is to make a roux. Be sure to use the 4 cup glass measuring cup as directed. The contents of the measuring cup will be VERY HOT so take care when handling.

MICROWAVE ROUX
This is the only method I've used for making roux for over 20 years! It's very quick and has always given me a perfect dark brown roux. I usually will just make the flour and oil part (in whatever proportions my recipe calls for) in the microwave and finish with the addition of the other vegetables and ingredients in a big pot on the stove. It's originally from a cookbook called "Tout de Suite a la Microwave" by Jean K. Durkee.

Steps:
- Mix oil and flour together in a 4 cup glass container (I use a Pyrex 4-cup).
- Microwave uncovered on high for 6-7 minutes.
- Stir at 6 minutes with a wooden spoon--roux will be a light brown at this time and will need to cook 30 seconds to 1 minute longer to reach the dark brown color so important in making Louisiana gumbos and stews.
- The roux will be VERY HOT, but usually the handle on your measuring cup will stay cool enough to touch.
- When the roux has reached a very dark brown (think a coffee grounds dark brown), remove from microwave and CAREFULLY (remember--the roux is very hot!); add the onion, celery, and bell pepper, a little at a time.
- Stir and return to microwave.
- Sauté on high for 2 minutes.
- You should now have about 3 3/4 cup of roux.
- If any oil has risen to the top, you can pour this off.
- Slowly, add enough hot water to bring the roux to the 4 cup mark.
- Stir and you will have a smooth, dark roux in only 12 minutes!
- Roux freezes very well and you are ready at any time to put together a delicious gumbo or stew!

Steps:
- Mix flour and oil together in a 4 cup GLASS measuring bowl with a whisk until smooth.
- Important to whisk smooth before putting in the microwave oven.
- Cook on HIGH power (100%) 7 minutes, stir and whisk at 4 minutes and again every 30 seconds until you achieve a dark caramel color.
- Don't burn the roux!
- Please be careful the glass bowl will be extremely HOT.
- Carefully add the onions, bell pepper, and celery to the how roux.
- It will sizzle and the aroma will be fantastic.
- Mix well and cook 3 minutes on HIGH.
- Add the green onions and garlic to the glass bowl.
- Cook 2 more minutes on HIGH.
- Additional notes:If you have ever made roux the conventional way, you know it must be watched constantly or it will burn.
- The first step, oil/flour cook on high 7 minutes, when your timer shows 4 minutes remove the glass bowl from the microwave and stir/whisk.
- Put the bowl back in the oven and continue to cook, however, take the bowl out every 30 seconds and stir/whisk as the roux begins to thicken.
- When the roux is medium to dark caramel color I like to take the bowl out of the oven and stir/whisk, the roux will continue to darken and you will have less chance of burning your roux.
- Depending on the powers (watts) of your microwave oven (700 to 1000 watts) the roux could start to thicken and brown at 5- 9 minutes.
- Attempt to get the color you like, Med, Dark Med, or Dark.
- The next 2 stages (3 minutes for the tough vegetables, then 2 more minutes for the tender vegetables).
- You really don't have to stir while the vegetables saute, however, you do stir when you first add them to the roux then forget it!
- Congratulations!
- You have now made authentic Cajun Roux in your microwave Oven.
