GOOD NEW ORLEANS CREOLE GUMBO
I am going to give you my gumbo recipe. I learned to cook from my mother and grandmother who were born and raised in New Orleans and really knew how to cook. Most of the time, you could not get them to write down their recipes because they used a 'pinch' of this and 'just enough of that' and 'two fingers of water,' and so on. This recipe is a combination of both of their recipes which I have added to over the years. Serve over hot cooked rice. The gumbo can be frozen or refrigerated and many people like it better the next day. Bon appetit!

Steps:
- Make a roux by whisking the flour and 3/4 cup bacon drippings together in a large, heavy saucepan over medium-low heat to form a smooth mixture. Cook the roux, whisking constantly, until it turns a rich mahogany brown color. This can take 20 to 30 minutes; watch heat carefully and whisk constantly or roux will burn. Remove from heat; continue whisking until mixture stops cooking.
- Place the celery, onion, green bell pepper, and garlic into the work bowl of a food processor, and pulse until the vegetables are very finely chopped. Stir the vegetables into the roux, and mix in the sausage. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat, and cook until vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside.
- Bring the water and beef bouillon cubes to a boil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot. Stir until the bouillon cubes dissolve, and whisk the roux mixture into the boiling water. Reduce heat to a simmer, and mix in the sugar, salt, hot pepper sauce, Cajun seasoning, bay leaves, thyme, stewed tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Simmer the soup over low heat for 1 hour; mix in 2 teaspoons of file gumbo powder at the 45-minute mark.
- Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings in a skillet, and cook the okra with vinegar over medium heat for 15 minutes; remove okra with slotted spoon, and stir into the simmering gumbo. Mix in crabmeat, shrimp, and Worcestershire sauce, and simmer until flavors have blended, 45 more minutes. Just before serving, stir in 2 more teaspoons of file gumbo powder.

Steps:
- In a large pot, combine the ham hocks, bay leaf, and water together. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the liquid up to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook the ham hocks for 30 minutes. With a slotted spoon remove the hocks, remove the meat and chop. Reduce the heat to medium and add the greens, a handful at a time and blanch until they are wilted. Drain and reserve the liquid. Chop the greens. Set aside. In the same pot, heat the oil. When the oil is hot, saute the vegetables until they are wilted, about 10 minutes. Add the ham hock, greens, reserved liquid, and herbs. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 1 1/2 hours. Add the file powder right before serving. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle the gumbo in a shallow bowl and place a spoonful of the rice in the center. Garnish with green onions and Essence.
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

BLACK-EYED PEA, PORK, AND MUSTARD GREEN GUMBO
This is one of my favorite gumbos I make. The combination of ingredients may sound strange, but they go together so well and it is so delicious. Serve over warm white rice.

VEGAN (SAY WHAT?!) GUMBO
Gumbo (a West African word that means 'okra') is traditionally served over long-grain white rice, but feel free to health it up by using brown rice. I was challenged to come up with a vegan gumbo recipe that removed the meat, but kept similar consistency, texture, and that savory, spicy flavor. Laissez les bons temp rouler!

- Step 1: In a large, heavy-bottom Dutch oven, heat 1/4 cup toasted garlic oil over medium-high heat until aromatic and a slice of okra tossed in sizzles furiously. Add 3 large, julienned Spanish onions; cook over high heat, stirring constantly, until just a little straw-yellow color appears on the edges of the onions, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Step 2: Add 1 1/2 pounds sliced okra; cook, stirring, until its mucus is released, about 3 minutes.
- Step 3: Reduce heat to medium-high; add 4 ounces thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms, 1 pound diced tomatillos and 1/4 cup horseradish. Cook, stirring constantly, until they render their juices and wet the mixture, about 5 to 10 minutes. Use the back of a wooden spoon to mash the okra and tomatillos into a coarse mash.
- Step 4: Working quickly, add 1 medium head chopped green cabbage; saute until it releases its aroma, 5 to 10 minutes. Add 1 quart vegetable stock, then 1 bunch chopped collard greens. Reduce heat to medium; cook until the collards and cabbage wilt back into the stew, about 30 minutes.
