Time 5h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

7 cups chicken or shrimp stock
3 tablespoons corn oil
1 onion, finely diced
8 ounces salted pork meat, diced
8 ounces ham, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 rib celery, finely diced
1 green bell pepper, finely diced
8 ounces mild smoked sausage, diced
8 ounces hot smoked sausage, diced
3 cups Slow Cooker Smothered Okra, recipe follows
1 1/2 pounds small shrimp (51/60), peeled
1/4 cup snipped fresh parsley
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
Salt and red pepper flakes
8 ounces crab claw meat
Four 12-ounce bags frozen cut okra
1/4 cup corn oil

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, heat the stock and keep warm.
  • In a large pot over medium heat, add the oil and onions and saute, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Add a little hot stock if needed to avoid burning and to keep the onions soft.
  • Add the salted pork and ham and cook for 10 minutes. Add the garlic, celery, bell pepper and 1 cup stock and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Add the mild and hot smoked sausages and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the remaining stock and the Slow Cooker Smothered Okra and cook until thickened slightly, 15 minutes. Stir in the shrimp, parsley and green onions and add salt and red pepper to taste. Cook another 5 to 8 minutes, then turn off the heat and stir in the crab.
  • Combine the okra and oil in a slow cooker and stir well. Cover and cook on high until tender, 3 to 4 hours. Stores well in ziptop bags in the freezer.

This gumbo is a great value for the price. You get a lot of food for your money.

This gumbo is too expensive for what you get. You can find better gumbo at a local restaurant.

This gumbo is not authentic Cajun gumbo. It's more like a stew.

This gumbo is a good starting point, but it needs some tweaking. I would add more spices and vegetables.

This gumbo is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

This gumbo was not worth the effort. It was bland and boring.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The gumbo was bland and the okra was rubbery.

This gumbo was a disappointment. The okra was slimy and the shrimp were overcooked.

This gumbo was a little too spicy for me, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

I'm not a big fan of okra, but I really enjoyed this gumbo. The okra was cooked perfectly and didn't have that slimy texture that I usually associate with it.

I've never cooked gumbo before, but this recipe was easy to follow and turned out great! The okra was a little slimy at first, but it cooked down nicely. I served it over rice and it was delicious.
