INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE STOCK
1 For the Stock: Peel the prawns and set the meats aside. Place the
prawn shells and the rest of the stock ingredients in a large pan and
bring to the boil.
2 Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for an hour to produce
an aromatic, well-flavoured stock. Strain through a colander into
another pan.
3 For the Gumbo: Heat the fat in a large pan, add the flour and cook
on a gentle heat, stirring continuously, until turned a golden
biscuit brown. Add the bacon and cook for another two minutes.
Gradually add the stock, stirring as you do.
4 Add the onion, celery, green pepper, okra, tomatoes, jalapeno
chilli, thyme and bay leaves. Simmer everything for 25 minutes - the
vegetables need to be well cooked, almost blending into the flavoured
sauce. Add the chicken after 20 minutes and add the prawns and clams
or mussels shortly after.
5 Finally stir in the crab meat, spring onions, parsley, 1 1/2 tsp
salt and black pepper. Serve ladled over some cooked long grain rice.
