Directions:
- Pour a glass of nice red wine and have a drink.
- Put some Italian opera on the stereo and turn volume up.
- Start a big pot of rice, I prefer white rice to serve this gumbo over.
- Rice is on the top shelf to the right.
- Cut meat into nice bite-sized slices, keeping fingers clear of blade.
- Heat oil over medium heat in a big pot and slowly saute meat with garlic and onions.
- Try not to eat too much of the meat while you cook or allow family members to.
- Precooked meats like the pork will speed process.
- Uncooked meats like chicken or shrimp can be quickly boiled in chicken broth and tossed in later.
- Never under cook chicken.
- Saute until lightly browned.
- Add broth to the pot and bring to a boil.
- Lower heat to medium and then add all the other ingredients one at a time starting with firmer vegetables first (they need more cooking) and soft last.
- Toss in spices last.
- Cook over medium heat until all ingredients are blended and cooked to your liking.
- Not over cooked or too soft is how I like it.
- Maybe fifteen minutes tops.
- The longer you cook the more the flavors will blend, but I prefer separate identifiable flavors so I cook less.
- Now taste your results being careful not to burn your tongue no matter how hungry you are.
- You're going to need that tongue later.
- Add ingredients according to your liking.
- I like to toss in some of the wine I'm drinking and I always add more garlic and salt and pepper to taste.
- Don't make it too spicy or your wife will not enjoy it.
- Serve over rice in big bowls.
- Put salt and pepper and Tabasco on the table for others to adjust flavors to their liking.
- You can now add more Tabasco to your own bowl and give your wife a wink.
- Turn off the TV and try talking to each other for a change.
- Finish the bottle of wine and go for a walk around the neighborhood after dinner to aid digestion.
- Enjoy!
