Looking for SB Friendly Seafood Gumbo Recipe

  • Since its starting to get cool, I'd really like to have a pot of seafood gumbo. The recipe I usually use is full of stuff that is not SB friendly (vegetable oil and white flour)...does anyone have any ideas?
  • Just use WW flour and olive oil to make the roux and make sure you have lots of okra in it to thicken. I make it all the time and you really can't taste the difference. I don't make quite as much roux as I normally do and rely more on the okra for the thickening. I sometimes brown the flour in the oven ahead of time...saves a lot of stirring! The nutty flavor of the roux is pretty much the same.
  • Here's a recipe for chicken and sausage gumbo. You could substitute seafood for those if you like.

    Chicken and Sausage Gumbo
    4 Servings

    3 T. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    6 oz uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
    6 oz turkey sausage, cut into 1-inch cubes
    10 oz frozen gumbo-style vegetables (peppers, okra, and onion)
    1 medium garlic clove(s), minced
    1 Tbsp whole wheat flour
    1 cup canned low-sodium fat-free chicken broth
    1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
    1 piece bay leaf
    1/4 tsp dried thyme
    1/8 tsp table salt
    1/8 tsp black pepper
    1 medium scallion(s), green part only, chopped

    Generously coat Dutch oven with oil. Add chicken and sausage; brown, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes.

    Stir in frozen vegetables and garlic; sauté until vegetables are thawed, about 5 minutes.

    Sprinkle mixture with flour and cook 1 minute. Stir in chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits in bottom of Dutch oven.

    Stir in crushed tomatoes, bay leaf, thyme, salt and pepper; simmer 5 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Divide among 4 bowls, sprinkle with scallions and serve. Yields about 1 1/4 cups per serving.
