Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Stock Market Chipotle Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 large green bell pepper, finely diced
- 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
- 2 cups okra, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1lb chicken thighs, boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1lb andouille sausage, cut into 1/4″ slices
- 1lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Jacobsen’s Himalayan Sea Salt, to taste
- Jacobsen’s freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste
- 4 green onions, chopped, for garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
- 3 cups jasmine rice, cooked
Directions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the Stock Market Chipotle Extra Virgin Olive Oil over medium heat. Add the chopped yellow onion, green bell pepper, and celery. Saute the vegetables until they are soft (about 10 minutes or so). Add the chicken thighs and andouille sausage to the pot. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides and the sausage is heated through (about 5-7 minutes or so). Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute; add in the flour and stir to allow the flour to fry a little.
Stir in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, bay leaves, dried thyme, dried basil, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Add the shrimp and sliced okra to the pot. Continue to simmer for another 15 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through and the okra is tender.
When ready to serve, remove the bay leaves from the gumbo. Ladle the gumbo over cooked white jasmine rice in serving bowls. Garnish with chopped green onions and freshly chopped parsley!
Enjoy!
