Directions
1. Prepare the Roux
In a large heavy pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the flour and stir continuously until the mixture turns a dark brown color, about 15-20 minutes. This is crucial for developing the flavor of the gumbo.
2. Sauté Vegetables
Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, celery, and minced garlic to the roux. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
3. Add Sausage
Stir in the sliced Andouille sausage and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
4. Combine Ingredients
Add the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, bay leaves, Cajun seasoning, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Add Seafood
Stir in the shrimp, crab meat, and okra. Cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
6. Serve
Remove bay leaves before serving. Serve the gumbo over cooked rice and garnish with chopped parsley.
