  • 1 Each Yellow Onion diced
  • 1 Each Green Bell Pepper diced

  • 4 Cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 Each Bay Leaves
  • 1 Tablespoon Creole Seasoning
  • 1 (15 Ounce) Can Tomato Puree

Instructions

  • Add the sliced Andouille Sausage to a large skillet and saute over medium-high heat until caramelized (about 10 minutes).
    12 Ounces Andouille Sausage
  • Add to the slow cooker, but keep the juices in the skillet. Next add the okra to the skillet and saute over medium-high heat until no more slime remains. Don't stir too often.
    12 Ounces Fresh Okra
  • Add the okra to the slow cooker, along with the chicken thighs, pork necks, onions, bell pepper, celery, garlic, bay leaves and Creole seasoning.
    2 Pounds Chicken Thighs, 1 Pounds Pork Neck Bones, 1 Each Yellow Onion, 1 Each Green Bell Pepper, 1 Rib Celery, 4 Cloves Garlic, 2 Each Bay Leaves, 1 Tablespoon Creole Seasoning, 1 (15 Ounce) Can Tomato Puree
  • Pour over the chicken broth and give a stir. Cook on low for 8 hours.
    5 Cups Chicken Broth
  • When the cooking time is up, remove the pork bones (the pork should have fell off the bones) and remove the bay leaves.
  • Add the browning sauce and the gumbo file powder. Stir well and serve over white rice.
    2 teaspoons Browning Sauce, ½ teaspoon File Powder

Notes

That's a small amount of gumbo file in this recipe. I would offer the file to guests to add to their own plate too. Just a little will go a long way and it thickens quickly.
