Ingredients:

Serving

okra gumbo
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 (16 oz) package frozen okra, thawed and sliced
8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced (this is an option for me)
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes with juice
1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
1/2 tsp file powder
2 bay leaves
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp all-purpose flour

Directions:

Directions
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in garlic, onion, and green bell pepper, and saute until tender. Stir in okra, mushrooms, diced tomatoes and their liquid, tomato paste, file powder, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 40 minutes.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stirring constantly, add flour, and cook 2 to 5 minutes, until a golden brown roux has formed.
Spoon the roux into the okra mixture, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, 5 to 10 minutes, until thickened.
File powder is a seasoning made from the ground, dried leaves of the sassafras tree. It's an integral part of Creole cooking, and is used to thicken and flavor Gumbos and other Creole dishes.
