Directions:
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy pan and add the flour.
- Cook, stirring, to make a medium-brown roux (the color of peanut butter).
- Add the onion, scallions, garlic and celery and cook until softened.
- Add the tomatoes with their juice, breaking them down with the side of a spoon, then add the tomato paste, parsley, thyme, bay leaf, allspice, cloves, salt, peppers, cayenne to taste, lemon juice and water.
- Bring to a boil, stirring well.
- Add half the crabmeat and the whole crabs or claws.
- Simmer for 1-1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- If you like, you can scoop out allspice, cloves and bay leaf.
- Add the shrimp and the remaining crab and simmer for a further 15 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in enough file powder to thicken.
- Do not boil the gumbo after adding the file powder.
- Serve hot.
- NOTE*****Other seafood, such as purged crawfish, lobster and well scrubbed clams may be added to the gumbo, as available.
- Cooked seafood may be used, too.
- The finished gumbo will not have the richness of flavor given by crab cooked in it, but will still be delicious.
- Just heat cooked seafood through in the finished sauce.
