Servings
4 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh okra washed and trimmed
- 1 large onion julienned
- 3 garlic cloves sliced
- 1 28 oz can peeled roma tomatoes medium dice
- 2 tablespoon creole or cajun seasoning
- 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 package Spicy Turkey Sausage cut on the bias I used KOL FOODS Spicy Turkey Sausage
- 1 cup chicken stock or vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
Instructions
- 1 Place 1 tablespoon of the oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the sausage, and cook until it’s golden brown on all or most sides. Transfer the sausage to a plate.
- 2 Place the okra in the pan stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown a little, then add the onions and sauté them until they are soft and translucent, 2 to 3 minutes.
- 3 Add the garlic and cook for another minute or so, stirring once or twice, and then add the creole spice. Then the tomatoes, stock and sausage are added to the pan.
- 4 Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook, uncovered, stirring once in a while, until the okra is very tender and the sauce has thickened, about 45 minutes.
- 5 Serve with cooked quinoa.
Again sorry for the delay, You can easily replace the okra with green beans,but without the Okra it really is not gumbo.
Sorry for the delay, I was away and did not get this comment. Yes it can be made in a crock pot slow cooker. I would just put it on low. The only problem you may experience is that the sausage may dry out, so you can brown them and leave them whole.
I was wondering if this recipe could be made in the slow cooker?
Sounds incredible ! What would replace okra? My family won’t touch the stuff. I’m from the south so I love it.
