Directions:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a very large soup pot, gradually whisk in flour with a long handled whisk. Continue to stir and whisk constantly until the roux reaches a dark chocolate color, being careful not to burn. In South Louisiana, you can purchase Roux premade in a jar, and I frequently use that, but I NEVER use the roux mix that you can purchase.
- At this time add the 4 cans tomatoes chopped with the juice. Continue to stir and whisk another 10 minutes.
- Add the vegetables and cook another 20 minutes stirring very frequently.
- Dissolve bouillon cubes in 2 to 4 quarts of water. Add this to the pot and bring to a boil. Add seasonings. and okra and simmer 20 minutes.
- Add shrimp and crab. Cook until shrimp are done. Add fresh green onion tops at end of cooking. Serve over rice.
- I frequently substitue crawfish tails for some of the shrimp. I prefer to use crab claws rather than crab meat in the gumbo. You can also add some andouille sausage if you want that.
