CHICKEN AND OKRA GUMBO

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large heavy pan and add the flour.
• Cook over a low heat, stirring, to make a dark brown roux (the color of hazelnut shells).
• Add the onion, garlic, green pepper and celery and cook until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
• Add the okra, parsley, bay leaf, thyme, salt, peppers, and cayenne and tabasco to taste, then stir in the tomatoes, tomato puree, and half the stock or water.
• Bring to a boil, stirring well.
• Simmer for 1-1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
• During this time, the okra, which is initially slimy, will turn the mixture very dark and glutinous.
• Meanwhile, remove the chicken meat from the carcass.
• Discard all skin and cut the meat into bite-sized pieces.
• Add the chicken meat and corn to the gumbo with the remaining stock or water and simmer for 30 minutes longer, stirring from time to time.
