Ingredients
1/2 cup olive oil1/2 cup Pamela's Gluten-free bread mix3 cups chopped onion 4 tsp minced garlic1 cup chopped green peppers1 cup chopped celery6 cups sliced okra2 tsp bay crushed bay leafsalt and pepper to taste6 fresh chopped banana peppers1 tbs fresh thyme1 lb fresh or frozen raw shrimp1 lb scallops12 oz halibut1 can crabmeat with liquid
Directions
Put olive oil and bread mix in a large soup or stew pot. Cook at medium high heat stirring constantly to make the roux. This is the most important step of a gumbo! You want the flour to brown deeply, without burning. I make this while I am chopping all the veggies. Stir the pot, chop an onion, stir the pot, chop another onion, etc.
When the roux is a deep brown, add the onions, celery and bell and banana peppers. Stir and cook until these veggies are soft.
Add the okra, bay leaf, salt and pepper and about 2 quarts of water. If you like it thicker, add less water. Cook for about 45 minutes and then add the shrimp, scallops and fish. Cook for about 10-15 minutes and then add the crab and the thyme and cook to heat for 3-4 minutes.
Serve in bowls over brown rice with hot sauce for those who like it spicier.
