📝 Instructions

7 steps

1. Start by making the roux. Heat the olive oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add the flour and continuously stir for about 15-20 minutes until the roux turns a rich, dark brown. Be careful not to let it burn.

2. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and celery to the roux and cook for about 5 minutes until they are soft and the onions are translucent.

3. Stir in the minced garlic and sliced okra, cooking for another 3 minutes.

4. Add the diced tomatoes with their juices, vegetable broth, bay leaves, Cajun seasoning, dried thyme, sea salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. Add the shrimp, crabmeat, and chunks of white fish to the pot. Continue to simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through and tender. Remove the bay leaves.

6. Taste the gumbo and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or black pepper if needed.

7. Serve the gumbo hot over a bed of cooked white rice, garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
