Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 medium onion, diced
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
0.5 (16 oz) package sliced frozen okra, thawed
8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 (14 1/2 oz) can diced tomatoes with juice
1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
1/2 tsp file powder
2 bay leaves
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
0.5 (16 oz) package frozen corn, thawed (optional)
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp all-purpose flour

Directions:

First, heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion, green pepper & minced garlic and saute until tender. Stir in the okra, mushrooms, diced tomatoes and their liquid, tomato paste, file powder, bay leaves, salt and pepper. Once they begin to boil, reduce the heat to simmer, stirring occasionally, approximately 45 minutes. About 30 minutes into the cooking time, add the corn (optional).
Next, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add flour, stirring constantly and cook 2 to 5 minutes until a golden roux has formed. Once the roux has been prepared, spoon the roux into the okra mixture and continue to cook, stirring occasionally for another 5 to 10 minutes until thickened.
