This is a recipe giving by my late Mother-in-Law. Its simple and delicious. Best of all, it does not call for any fancy stuff, just basic foods you probably already have nearby.
St. Charles Street Gumbo
1 Tbsp.- Olive Oil
2- small onions (or one large)
1 lbs.- sliced okra (frozen works fine)
1 cup- chopped celery
1 Tbsp.- minced garlic
1 1/2 lbs.- chopped Skinless Sausage
48 oz.- Chicken broth (3 cans)
Dash- of Tabasco sauce ( I like more)
3 pinches- Cajun seasoning
2 pinches- Parsley flakes
1- large can petite diced tomatoes
1-10 oz. can chuck white chicken (drained)
In a large sauce pan or skillet, heat olive oil over med-high heat. Add onions, okra, celery and cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in garlic, Cajun seasoning, parsley, and sausage and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Add chicken broth, Tabasco and tomatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and add chicken.
Cook 4-5 minutes or longer until chicken is heated through.
Serve over rice and add more Tabasco if you desire.
Refrigerate left overs.
1 cup gumbo with 1 cup rice = approx. 200 calories. (per "myfitnesspal" app)
