So, I have to use up my okra, but don't have time to stand over a pot. Here is a slow-cooker version of gumbo. I didn't have any celery, so I put zucchini in instead.Submitted by: EMPIERCE

My Gumbo is very heavy on vegetables. I love them and I probably put more than the measurements I give here. It's a personal preference. Submitted by: NEED2DROP50

Gumbo z’herbes, a smothered greens dish, is traditionally served on Good Friday during Lent. It’s a great way to use up vegetable greens such as beet or carrot tops, though feel free to experiment with different combinations—original versions contained seven different cooking greens for good luck. The roux base adds so much depth, you won’t miss the meat. In fact, this gumbo was the most popular among our kitchen staff, beating out shrimp and tasso and chicken and andouille versions.Submitted by: PINKPARASOLLADY

shrimp and sausage gumboSubmitted by: LONDA6985

I usually make this when we have family gatherings. Although how to make Gumbo from scratch it's hard to find the ingredients here on the east cost. Zatarains is the closest I've found to the New Orleans favorite. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family. Submitted by: CREMEPUPH

Beans & rice variation for a hearty winter meal. Be for-warned, I like spicy, so this has some kick. Spices can be adjusted to heat factor, omitting the cayenne should do the trick.Submitted by: OBEY_KARMA

A spicy low-fat dish that will fill you up without weighing you down. Submitted by: FRECKLE_FACE

This is the Gumbo my momma taught me to make. I adapted it to make it healthier. Instead of making the 1 cup flour/1cup oil for a rue. The flour is browned in a black iron skillet and I only need about 3 tablespoons of oil to caramalize the onions and cook the other veggies. This is a family favorite. Hope you enjoy.Submitted by: LOGANSGRAMMIE

I found this in the 1/11 issue of the magazine, but the recipe is on line at the Southern Living site under Jan. '11 recipes. I modified it by using fat free chicken broth, added frozen sliced okra, left out the blackeyed peas, used turkey kielbasa instead of the andouille sausage and served over brown rice.
