Never heard of gumbo starter, but the finished product looks killer!
Looks like store bought Roux to me.
I had Hoppin John (Blackeyed Peas, Bacon, Onion, and Rice) .
I used this recipe (half a batch) cept I added a can of seasoned Collard Greens and gave it a good splash of hot sauce. It was delicious.....I'll definitely make it again.
