Gumbo
Today was the day to use the okra we harvested. Gumbo seemed like a good choice. It ended up being a very long process, but I wanted to try to make an authentic version.
First I made the roux, which entailed stirring this for half an hour straight.
Then I got the main broth, veggies (including a couple of our very own green peppers), and meat boiling.
Time to cook the okra. This stuff is a gooey mess.
And a few hours later we ate.
Although it was tasty, I’m not sure I’ll take the time to make it very often. I’ll have to find a short cut version.
Looks yummy! I put okra in my vegetable soup, and really like it!
