New Orleans Gumbo image

I've been making this New Orleans gumbo for at least 30 years. I'm originally from New Orleans, and I think it's a nice taste of the Vieux Carre (French Quarter). Everyone who tastes this gumbo wants the recipe. It's an old standby for my family, who requests it frequently. -Dolores M. Bridges, Danville, Kentucky

This gumbo is a bit spicy for my taste, but it's still really good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time. Overall, I'm very happy with this recipe.

I'm not a big fan of okra, but I decided to give this gumbo a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The okra is cooked perfectly and it adds a nice texture to the dish. The flavor is also amazing.
