Instructions
- 1
Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed 6-quart pot over medium heat until shimmering. Add the rice flour all at once and stir constantly with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula, keeping the mixture moving across the bottom of the pot, until the roux deepens to a rich dark brown — the color of dark chocolate — about 25–35 minutes. Watch closely and reduce heat slightly if the roux begins to smell scorched rather than nutty.

Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper to the roux and stir to coat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent, about 8–10 minutes.
