Gumbo Z'Herbes

New Orleans Vegetable Stew

Okra and Tomato Gumbo

Vegetable Gumbo

Vegetarian Gumbo

 

Most gumbo recipes call for file ( " fee-LAY " ) powder. File is ground sassafrass

leaves. This can usually be found in the spice section.

 

I made up the Vegetarian Gumbo myself, using a package mix. This has been one

of our " quick & easy " standard dishes.

Gumbo Z'Herbes

 

Recipe By :

Serving Size : 15 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Soups & Stews

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons salt

2 cups flour

2 pounds mushrooms -- smoked*

2 cups chopped onion

1 gallon water

1 cup chopped bell pepper

1 bunch collard greens

3/4 cup chopped celery

1 small head cabbage

3/4 cup minced shallots

5/8 pound turnip greens

1/4 cup minced garlic

5/8 pound mustard greens

6 bay leaves

1 bunch green onions

1 1/2 teaspoons thyme

1/4 cup chopped parsley

1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper

1 tablespoon soy sauce

2 teaspoons white pepper

1 pounds red beans -- cooked**

3/4 teaspoon cayenne

 

In a large heavy bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over a medium high

flame. Add the flour and stir until a peanut butter colored roux is attained.

Immediately add the onion, bell pepper and celery. Saute until vegetables are

tender and start to stick and brown a little. Add the shallots, garlic, herbs,

salt and peppers. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.

Meanwhile, in a large soup pot, bring the water (and bean water -see

below**) to a boil. Chop the collards and cabbage into one inch squares and

boil until just tender. Add the turnip greens, mustard greens and green onions

and return to a boil.

Coarsely chop the smoked mushrooms. Add it to the roux mixture and cook

for 2 minutes. Carefully stir the roux- vegetable-mushroom mixture into the

simmering greens, and return to a boil. Add the parsley, cooked red beans, and

soy sauce to taste. Bring to a boil one more time, then turn off the fire.

Serve over rice.

This dish is best if refrigerated over night then reheated. This recipe

yields about two gallons of gumbo.

NOTES : Okra is a classic in a Southern gumbo whose very name is derived from

the African word for okra: Ochinggombo. Here is a simple recipe for an okra and

tomato gumbo that would be a fine first or main course.

Vegetable Gumbo

 

Recipe By :

Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Soups & Stews

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 onion -- chopped

1/2 green pepper -- diced

2 ribs celery -- diced

1 clove garlic -- minced

1 pound okra (fresh or frozen) -- sliced

1 pound tomatoes -- fresh, or canned

2 cups corn -- fresh/frozen/canned

1 teaspoon vegetable bouillon granules

1/2 cup white grape juice

1/2 cup water

1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce

1/4 teaspoon paprika

2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley

1 tablespoon basil or rosemary -- minced

Vegetable coating spray

 

Method: In a large heavy stew pot, place bouillon and 1/2 C white grape juice,

onion, green pepper, celery garlic, cook until tender, 5-7 minutes.

 

Add other ingredients, cook over low heat, stirring occasionally to keep from

sticking to bottom. Cover and simmer gently until corn and okra are done. (or

simmer in crockpot 6-7 hours)

 

Note: Cut fresh corn from cob with a sharp knife, then scrape the remaining corn

off the cob. Four ears will make about two cups. If you use dried herbs, rub

them with the palms of your hands before adding to the pot, this releases their

aroma and goodness.
