Chicken & Okra Gumbo

This is great cold weather cuisine. Hot and a little spicy....yummy!

Chicken & Okra Gumbo

Serves 10

4 to 6 lb Hen, cut into pieces
4 tbsp Oil
1 stick Butter
4 tbsp Flour
2 cups Fresh Okra, chopped
1 large Onion, chopped
2 sticks Celery, chopped
1 Green Bell Pepper, chopped
4 Garlic Cloves, minced
2 tbsp Green Onions (scallions) chopped
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Creole Seasoning or salt & pepper
3 quarts Water
File'


Season chicken well.

In a large aluminum Dutch oven (do not use black cast iron pot) fry seasoned chicken in 2 tbsp oil until brown. Remove and set aside.

Add 2 more tbsp oil and fry chopped okra for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly to keep from burning.

Add roux. See Recipe
You will use only enough roux to make the required amount of liquid needed for your recipe. This chicken & okra gumbo recipe calls for 3quarts of water, so you will make enough roux to mix with 3 quarts of water and get the desired amount of gravy for your gumbo.

Add chicken, worcestershire sauce, chopped onion, celery, bell pepper, garlic and 3 quarts of water.

Bring to boil and simmer 2 - 3 hours or until meat is tender. Skim off excess fat and serve in soup bowls with rice.

Garnish with chopped scallions and a sprinkling of file'


Enjoy!

I was planning to use payday easy loans mortgage.
They'd named me and provided me a deal I couldn't refuse, believe me
if it sounds too superior to get correct it truly is.
Soon after they'd me hooked they had been nowhere to be found. Until I spoke with their officer from instant cash loans today. He was quite straight forward and informed me what he could do for us and promised we could close in 7 days.

You can spend more hours paying the money back and it will
put less stress in your financial predicament. Funding through the loan is generally the appropriate way to get away from your fiscal difficulties.

Cоmе to think οf theѕе apps cаn stοrе and οrganizе fileѕ, thoѕе file syѕtеmѕ are silos within the apρs.
The ѕtаtеmеnt also uses comments of the ϳudge
in the original сasе that unfavouгably compared the Samѕung gaԁgеts tо
the Apρle forums ωith comрlaints about thе Ipad.
The machine weighs just 0. After at leаѕt tωo days, уou can easily гeаd them by
tаρping thе Edit button in thе upper-right coгneг,
you can only use apps from thе Αpp Storе whiсh allows only Apρle accepted
