Ingredients
Gumbo Base
Gumbo Preparation
1. Make the Roux
In a large heavy pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Gradually whisk in the flour, stirring continuously until the mixture turns a deep brown color, about 15-20 minutes.
2. Add Vegetables
Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, celery, and minced garlic to the roux. Sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
3. Combine Ingredients
Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, bay leaves, and cajun seasoning. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.
4. Add Crab Meat
Fold in the crab meat and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes to heat through.
5. Serve
Remove bay leaves before serving. Serve the gumbo hot with rice, if desired.
