Found this post in my draft box... from I don't know when.... Don't know why I didn't post it. it's ready to go!
This gumbo is very "healthy" tasting...don't get the wrong idea, it's not "dieter's rabbit food" as some may think when the word "healthy" is mentioned. I adapted the recipe from Canadian Living. It calls for a slowcooker, but I did it with a "vacuum pot". I read the recipe and it didn't seem to hold up to 4+ hours of cooking, especially because the meats are cooked prior to being "slow cooked".
So I followed the recipe except for these few modifications:
1. Added 1/2 C of fresh corn kernels with the okra at the end. I browned the corn slightly to seal in the liquid.
2. I cooked the mixture in the vacuum pot, bringing the sausage/chicken/veg mixture to a boil and then put it in the pot for 2 hours. Then I took it out, put it on the stove, and added the corn and okra, brought it to a medium boil, put it in the vacuum for another 15 minutes.
3. Added about 1 tsp of chili flakes.
4. Served it with cornbread. Added 1/2 C of corn to the recipe and cooked it in muffin tins. I think 25 minutes in the oven would have sufficed.
