Green Gumbo Recipe

	Dmajor / All my dishes 1 month, 3 weeks ago This dish is a healthier version of the heavier gumbo's the south offers. I am always amazed at the people who say they don't eat greens but end up loving this gumbo. This is my family and friends favorite of all favorites! Prep:20m Cook:15m Servings:8	Dmajor

1 stick butter

1/2 jar of dark roux or 1 cup homemade roux

salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon minced garlic

Directions

Place frozen greens and spinach in a large stock pot and cover with broth and enough water to cover greens.

Bring greens to boil, lower heat, cover and cook on medium heat for 30 minutes.

In a large skillet, cook onions, celery, sausage, ham, and garlic in butter until onions are transparent and meats are lightly browned(about 4 minutes)

Add to greens and continue to cook greens for 30 minutes, adding more water if needed.

Whisk roux with a little warm water until smooth.

Bring greens to a second boil.

Stir in roux and spices, stirring well to make sure all roux is dissolved.

This is one tasty dish although some may argue that a gumbo has to have okra to qualify. I love all the greens.

Michael you are right. I do add okra to this but for some people okra isn't their thing so I decided to leave it out on the recipe! Thanks for commenting.

Yes, But adding some of the other greens tend to give the gumbo a bitter taste. So, I prefer to have a smooth gumbo. Of course you can add as many of the greens as you like such as kale, beet tops, carrot tops(green part)and cabbage. I keep my gumbo simple and find it works best for me. Thank you.
