  • 1 medium green pepper chopped
  • 1 medium Onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic finely chopped

  • Gradually stir flour into drippings until blended, and cook 4 to 5 minutes or until flour mixture (roux) is deep brown, stirring constantly.
  • Add green pepper, onion, celery, and garlic, and cook 5 to 6 minutes or until all vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Return sausages to Dutch oven; stir in broth, tomatoes, water, okra, bay leaf, oregano, thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; heat to boiling on high.
  • Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 30 minutes to blend flavors.
  • Meanwhile, prepare rice as label directs.
  • In medium bowl, toss shrimp with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Add shrimp to Dutch oven; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until opaque throughout.
  • To serve, discard bay leaf. Serve gumbo in large bowls. Top each serving with a scoop of rice. Makes about 10 cups.
