"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Ingredients:  
2 boneless chicken breasts (barbecued)
1/4 lb. smoked ham
1 lb. smoked kielbasa sausage
6 Tbsp. olive oil
1 large sweet onion (finely chopped)
4 celery ribs (chopped into 1/4" pieces)
3 cloves garlic (crushed)
1 tsp. thyme
1 tsp. coriander
dash lemon pepper
1 (14.5 oz.) canned stewed tomatoes (Italian style)
1 (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes with green chilies

About 4 c. chicken broth
2 Tbsp. McCormick's real chicken base
Roux mixture (melted butter w/flour)

Directions:
Directions:
Barbecue the meat to get smoke flavor through all. Cut into small cubes. Gumbo should always have a mild smoky flavor. In olive oil, saute onion, celery, garlic, and bell pepper. Cook about 10 minutes or until translucent. In Nesco or a 5 quart pot add about 4 cups of chicken broth and 2 tablespoons McCormick's real chicken base (this is a paste). Add all meat and sauteed vegetables. Add thyme, coriander and a dash of lemon pepper. Add both cans of tomatoes. Salt and pepper to taste. Add a dash of Tabasco sauce if desired. Simmer for about 2-3 hours. Thicken with a roux mixture of melted butter and flour. Serve over a bed of cooked long grain rice. Note: Gumbo thickens if left overnight so you may need to thin it with chicken broth.
