Really tasty, teaches you how to make a good dark roux, and otherwise is relatively easy. Isaac Toups has good videos out there on how to.

I've looked at doing something involving a roux but I'm always somewhat nervous of burning the shit out of it which I really shouldn't be.

I remember seeing Isaac on Binging with Babish once, I'll definitely check him out. Thanks!
