VEGAN (SAY WHAT?!) GUMBO
Gumbo (a West African word that means 'okra') is traditionally served over long-grain white rice, but feel free to health it up by using brown rice. I was challenged to come up with a vegan gumbo recipe that removed the meat, but kept similar consistency, texture, and that savory, spicy flavor. Laissez les bons temp rouler!

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a skillet over medium high heat.
- Stir in the onion, bell peppers, celery, and garlic; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the vegetable mixture to a large bowl; set aside.
- Heat the remaining 1/3 cup canola oil in the same skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds.
- Whisk in the flour, stirring constantly until the roux darkens and has a nutty scent, about 15 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and pour in about one cup of vegetable broth, whisking constantly until the mixture is smooth.
- Stir in the vegetable mixture and tomatoes.
- Pour in about one more cup of vegetable broth, stirring to combine.
- Mix in the eggplant, okra, red beans, salt, thyme, basil, file powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, paprika, cumin, liquid smoke, bay leaves, and remaining 4 cups of broth.
- Cover and continue to simmer for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
