A rainy Cold Sunday after a week in the 70's seemed like a good day for Gumbo. My normal Gumbo Recipe is called "Geneva's Quick Gumbo" found in my copy of "The Black Family Reunion Cookbook." I have made a few changes so here is my version:
1 cup diced onions
1/2 cup diced Anaheim green peppers (or pepper of your choice)
1 T olive oil
3 or 4 cups chicken broth (I use 4 so the Gumbo is soupier)
1 can (14oz) Hunts diced Fire Roasted tomatoes
1 bayleaf
1 T dried thyme
1 T chopped parseley
3 T file' powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 pound Eckridge smoked sausage (you could use polish or hot links or?)
1 pound shrimp; peeled and deveined
1 pound chicken; pre-cook and pull into bite sized peices (we cook a couple of breasts in the microwave)
1 can (14 oz) green beans, drained (you could use sliced frozen okra, but not me)
Salt and pepper to taste
Hot sauce (optional)
Saute onion and pepper in 1 tablespoon of olive oil
Add undrained diced tomatoes, broth, bayleaf, thyme, parseley, file' powder, garlic powder, and sausage
Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes
During the last few minutes of cooking, add the shrimp, chicken, and green beans
Continue to simmer until shrimp is just cooked
Salt and pepper to taste
Serve over cooked rice with cornbread on the side.
Very tasty!
