Instructions
First, make a roux. In a large pot heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle a dash of flour into the oil to see if it will bubble. When bubbling occurs, gradually whisk the remaining flour into the oil. Stir your roux constantly and thoroughly from the bottom. Keep in mind that the bottom will get darker a lot faster than the surface as it is closer to the heat. Your roux should get a lightly brown color, kind of like peanut butter. This will take about 8-10 minutes. It can just take seconds for a roux to go from "dark" to "burnt", so pay attention! If it's burnt, you have to start from the beginning again.

This was absolutely delicious!! Thank you.
We made this gumbo tonight in order to use up some garden-fresh okra that was given to us. What a delicious dish! My hubby cut up the vegetables and measured out the spices while I made the roux. It was my first roux but your directions worked perfectly. During the last 20 minutes, the gumbo developed a deep, delicious sauce. Also I need to say that your seasoning was excellent. It is rare for me to not make major changes to the seasoning in recipes I try, but for this gumbo, I only used less thyme than specified, and made my own Cajun spice blend in order to skip the salt. Thank you so much - I’ll be trying other recipes of yours soon!
Great and easy recipe. My family loved the combination :-)
This is my first time of hearing of this recipe and actually cookie g Okra. I bought Okra and I just needed recipe that is appealing to me as I'm off meat. Just made this recipe everything came out really nice I didn't have kidney beans and cajun seasoning however sub with butter beans. I even surprised myself with roux which was my first time doing it. I love this recipe, the smell, taste and will be my weekly dish. Thank you for sharing.
I no longer eat meat, and I have missed Gumbo very much because of it. I assumed there was nobody out there who made it without meat, but I googled it this morning, and there you were! I may sub a few things, but this recipe looks like a Great place to start. Thanks so much for "being there."
This was a hit. I had chickpea and extra okra because I had grown so much and was trying to get rid of them.
This was absolutely delicious! Unfortunately, I couldn't find any vegan Worcestershire sauce, and my grocery store was out of okra, but it still came out amazing. Super easy, nutritious, and delicious!
This really looks delicious , for sure would try . Thanks for sharing
