Introduction
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.
