Gumbo Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Trinity

    In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Spices

    Stir in the minced garlic, thyme, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Combine Vegetables

    Add the okra, sweet yellow corn, confit tomatoes, red beans, and mushrooms to the pot. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Add Broth and Simmer

    Pour in the vegetable broth and add the bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Adjust Seasonings

    Taste the gumbo and adjust the seasoning with more salt and black pepper if necessary. Remove bay leaves before serving.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Ladle the gumbo into bowls and serve hot. Optional: Top with Gruyère arancini for added texture and flavor.
