ingredients

¹⁄₃ cup canola oil
¹⁄₂ cup all-purpose flour
4 celery ribs, coarsely chopped
2 medium onions, coarsely chopped
2 green bell peppers, chopped
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons dried oregano, crumbled
¹⁄₂ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons file powder
2 quarts stock (homemade vegetable or shrimp)
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 ¹⁄₂ lbs andouille sausages (can use smoked andouille)
2 lbs medium shrimp, uncooked, peeled & deveined

directions

Make roux by heating oil in a large dutch oven over high heat until almost smoking. Add flour & stir until dark red-brown, about 8 minutes. Immediately add celery, onions, & bell peppers. Cook 5 minutes, stirring & scraping the bottom of the pan often. Mix in bay leaves, salt, oregano, & cayenne. Add & stir together stock, canned tomatoes, sausage,& filet seasoning . Boil 15 minutes. (To add okra: reduce heat & simmer until okra is tender, about 15 minutes). Add shrimp to gumbo & simmer until just cooked through, about 3 minutes.
Serve in bowl & add 1 mound of freshly cooked long-grain rice on top.
Optional:.
1/2 lb. okra, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Note:.
Salt & pepper is not added during cooking as the natural salt in the ingredients is more than enough to season it. (Please taste prior to seasoning before eating.).
