Directions:1. First, make a roux. Mix oil and flour in a 4 cup measure. Microwave on high, 6-7 minutes. Stir at 6 minutes (Roux will be light brown). It will need to cook 30 seconds to 1 minute more to reach a dark brown color. It will be very hot.
2. Add onion, celery, and green pepper to Roux in the measuring cup. Stir and return to microwave. Saute on high 3 minutes.
3. Add garlic, parsley, and green onion to Roux. Stir and return to microwave and saute on high 2 minutes. You should have about 3 ¾ cups of Roux now. If any oil rises to top, pour it off.
4. Slowly add enough hot water to bring Roux to 4 cup mark. Stir.
5. You can add meat or seafood, or can freeze until ready to use.
