GOOD NEW ORLEANS CREOLE GUMBO
I am going to give you my gumbo recipe. I learned to cook from my mother and grandmother who were born and raised in New Orleans and really knew how to cook. Most of the time, you could not get them to write down their recipes because they used a 'pinch' of this and 'just enough of that' and 'two fingers of water,' and so on. This recipe is a combination of both of their recipes which I have added to over the years. Serve over hot cooked rice. The gumbo can be frozen or refrigerated and many people like it better the next day. Bon appetit!

Steps:
- Make a roux by whisking the flour and 3/4 cup bacon drippings together in a large, heavy saucepan over medium-low heat to form a smooth mixture. Cook the roux, whisking constantly, until it turns a rich mahogany brown color. This can take 20 to 30 minutes; watch heat carefully and whisk constantly or roux will burn. Remove from heat; continue whisking until mixture stops cooking.
- Place the celery, onion, green bell pepper, and garlic into the work bowl of a food processor, and pulse until the vegetables are very finely chopped. Stir the vegetables into the roux, and mix in the sausage. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat, and cook until vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside.
- Bring the water and beef bouillon cubes to a boil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot. Stir until the bouillon cubes dissolve, and whisk the roux mixture into the boiling water. Reduce heat to a simmer, and mix in the sugar, salt, hot pepper sauce, Cajun seasoning, bay leaves, thyme, stewed tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Simmer the soup over low heat for 1 hour; mix in 2 teaspoons of file gumbo powder at the 45-minute mark.
- Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings in a skillet, and cook the okra with vinegar over medium heat for 15 minutes; remove okra with slotted spoon, and stir into the simmering gumbo. Mix in crabmeat, shrimp, and Worcestershire sauce, and simmer until flavors have blended, 45 more minutes. Just before serving, stir in 2 more teaspoons of file gumbo powder.

MRS. ELIE'S CREOLE GUMBO
A native of New Orleans, Lolis Eric Elie, an American writer, journalist, filmmaker, and food historian, shares the authentic Creole gumbo recipe as it was made in his family. Adapted from Smithsonian Magazine, this gumbo is made with crabs, shrimp, and various types of sausage. Although no tomatoes are added, the dish has a lovely brown color, while the right consistency is acquired by using okra, file, and roux.

Steps:
- Clean the crabs by removing the lungs, heart, and glands so that only the parts of the shell containing meat, including legs, swimmers, and claws, remain. Refrigerate the meaty parts and transfer the discarded parts into a 6 or 8-quart stockpot to which you also add the shrimp heads, shells and 5 quarts of water, then bring to a boil and leave to simmer for 30 minutes. When done, remove from heat.
- In a skillet cook the sausages in batches, turn them occasionally until they are slightly brown, and most of the fat has rendered. Before each new batch of sausage remove the excess fat from the skillet. Place the cooked sausage aside on a plate lined with a paper towel in order they drain. Once you finish with cooking of all the sausage, wipe all the excess oil from the skillet but do not remove any bits of sausage stuck to the bottom of the skillet.
- Next, heat in the skillet 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat and add to it okra. Cook okra on medium heat for 45 minutes while frequently stirring until slightly brown and dried.
- While the okra is cooking, to make the roux, heat ½ cup of vegetable oil in a 12-quart stockpot over medium heat. When hot, add to it ½ cup of flour slowly tablespoon by tablespoon while constantly stirring until all the flour has been added and the roux becomes medium brown, at about 10-15 minutes.
- Add the onions to the roux while constantly stirring until they have softened, then add the garlic, celery, parsley, green onions and bell pepper.
- Filter the seafood stock to a large stockpot, then add the browned sausage and bay leaves. Cook over medium-high heat until boiling, then reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking. Add to it the cooked okra, then cook for another 60 minutes. Proceed by adding the crab and shrimp that you've set aside and cook for 15 minutes more.
- Remove from heat and stir in the Creole seasoning and file powder, then leave to rest for 15-20 minutes. As gumbo cools oil forms on top that needs to be skimmed off with a ladle or a large spoon and discarded.
- Stir in the crab meat and then check the taste; if need be, add more salt and pepper. To serve, ladle gumbo over steamed rice.
