Directions: |
Directions:Make roux by mixing 1 cup vegetable oil and 1 cup flour. Start on medium heat and stir. This takes time and patience. Stir often until it gets to the color of a dark brown Hershey bar (the darker the better).
When it reaches that consistency, add your trinity (celery, onion, bell pepper). Add seasoning.
Add Tony's seasoning to your taste and liking. Sauté til the trinity is soft. Add approximately a gallon of water to the trinity.
Add your okra. You can get two bags from the frozen section or add fresh if you have time to wash and cut. Let this simmer for a little while about 45-60 minutes.
Here is where you can add whatever you like. If you want chicken and sausage, give longer time to allow chicken to fully cook.
If you decide shrimp/crab gumbo. Add the shrimp at the end of the simmer process so that it does not become rubbery. |

Notes: Melissa says "The nice part of this is if you want to freeze this for later you can. Just don't add any of the meats while you freeze. When you want gumbo you can let it thaw out and cook up a meal in short time."
"I sometimes will do red and green bell pepper with onion (depends on what is in my kitchen)."
