\Good simple food.
I've only made gumbo once, a duck gumbo from Emril. Yours looks soul warming.
ReplyDeleteThis looks wonderful. Thanks for the tip about the tomatoes. Your photos are great and would make it easy for a kitchen novice to successfully make this recipe.
ReplyDeleteCan you believe the number of recipes that do not include okra... Yours is a classic and perfect as is!
ReplyDeleteJoie - Oh duck gumbo. that sounds amazingly delicious!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary - It was quite simple and worth the effort (it was actually little effort) and good chow.
Dave - I love okra and funny thing is, I didn't have it until I moved to the south!
You can't beat soup with sausage. We have some great local meat markets that make many excellent sausages.
ReplyDeleteLooks like some nice gumbo you got there!
ReplyDeleteAieeee....
CCR
=:~)
Sounds perfect! Great for the last (hopefully) of the cold weather! :-)
ReplyDeletethis is so a different gumbo that I am use to eating - I make sausage & shrimp gumbo all the time, more in the nawlins tradition but not like this - love it - the fried okra on top is a wonderful spin
ReplyDeleteI love anything with smoked sausage, this looks excellent!
ReplyDeleteJanel - Sausage, or bacon, makes a great addition or just about any stew or soup based meal. Buying locally is good too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Cajun Chef Ryan!
Martha = Oh I totally, agree - let's hear it for the last of the cold!
Drick - The okra makes a nice crunchy topping...love it. You have some great shrimp recipes on your site.....I will be borrowing this summer.
Kim - Thank you :-)
I make jambalaya all the time, but have only made gumbo once. Time to dust off that recipe after seeing yours - it looks great!
ReplyDeletehey Miss Tina...
ReplyDeleteGumbo is one of my fave foods in the world though I've never used okra myself...and am not a big fan in general...I like to get over this sort of hang up if possible though!!
so you got me off my butt and I posted another Tina inspired recipe.
thanks.
What a deliciously fantastic gumbo u have here.....
ReplyDeleteand thanx a ton for being the inspiration behind my absolutely delish pine apple upside down cake...it was here i saw it first....
I have yet to try gumbo.. i have to get over my fear of okra! I have only seen it on tv, but they keep using words like "slimy" and "mucous". One day!
ReplyDeleteCathy - let me know when you make it. Did you take the bike course yet? Curious....
ReplyDeleteYea! MonicaJane! I will hop on over to your blog to check it out :-)
Vanilla - Thank you. That means alot!
Natashya, yeah ok, that's a fair cop! I never ate okra until I moved to the south and yes, it has potential to be slimy but if you use fresh okra, and fry with the cornmeal, it's great. No slime.
Thanks for visiting Tina. When I first clicked over from your profile, I accidentally clicked the Pierce family history project. I was so confused for a second! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi Joie! You know, I stated the Pierce family history blog to shae a difficult genealogy the family had been researching...and this foodie one was born of it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't gotten that marmite yet but plna to try this weekend.
