Steps

1
Brown the sausage and chicken in a heavy pot and set aside.
2
Make the roux: whisk the flour into the oil over medium-low heat and stir constantly for 30-45 minutes.
3
It will go blond, then peanut, then copper, then finally the colour of dark chocolate. Do not stop stirring and do not raise the heat — a roux that catches even slightly is bitter and must be thrown away and restarted.
4
The moment it reaches colour, tip in the onion, pepper and celery. The vegetables stop the roux cooking further.
5
Cook the trinity 10 minutes, then add the garlic and cajun seasoning.
6
Whisk in the hot stock gradually, add the bay leaves and return the meats.
7
Simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour, skimming the oil that rises.
8
Season with salt, scatter with spring onions and serve over the rice with hot sauce.
