Hi friends, I'm in a gumbo bind and could use some expert advice! I've been struggling to get my gumbo to the perfect consistency. What's the magic trick to thickening it up just right? Any tried-and-true methods or secret ingredients you can share? It's my first time trying a gumbo, so any help will be needed! Thanks!
