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. |
