Gumbo Recipes

Easy and tasty chicken gumbo for a cold night!

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.

My family loves this simple but delicious gumbo recipe. We never have leftovers.

This is a very popular cajun recipe for Gumbo. for those that don't know what File it it's ground dried sassafras leaves that are ground down to a fine powder..very flavorful.

This easy-to-prepare dinner has just the right amount of blend of ingredients for a great tasting, New Orleans style meal.

This is a low-calorie version of an awesome Cajun dish. I make it in a crock pot and look forward to it all day.

Vegetable Gumbo with a little kick

Cajun favourite done the vegan way is wholesome and low in calories. Knock yourself out :-)

Casserole with curry sausage, okra, tomato and corn

Chicken and sausage

The key to the flavor is making the dry dark roux. See the tips section on creating that ahead of the rest of the recipe.

Serve over rice or cauliflower. This recipe's n nutritional list does not include rice

I got the base of the resipe from women's health magazine or one of those im not sure I ripped it out. I changed some things like vegetable stock to seafood stock it is lower in calories and taste great, also i added kale for the extra veggies it is great without or with, This recipe is doubled i made a ton becuase it is so low in calories and extremely healthy hitting all food groups its perfect for dinner when i may have splerged earlier in the day.

I just created this on a whim.

All the Spice, Low Calorie & None of the Sodium!

Yummy chicken & sausage gumbo. Can serve with rice.

This recipe has been adapted from Ken Wheaton's book The First Annual Grand Praerie Rabbit Festival. Carol substituted chicken for turkey and doubled many of the proportions given the large amounts of leftover poultry we had from Thanksgiving. Additionally, she used okra instead of filé to thicken her broth as well as a handful of new spices and ingredient substitutions. For the original, see here, but for Carol's, keep reading.

Perfect meal for hearty eaters.

Faster than the traditional but still very flavorful.

Slow simmer , thickens naturally no starch

Low Carb

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.

Healthy, filling, rich, makes a ton of hearty soup

Quick spicy meal

A spicy low-fat dish that will fill you up without weighing you down.

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.

This is quite spicy, especially if feeding children. Serve in big bowls with a side of corn muffins. Serve lemon bars for desert.
