Servings: persons

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 quarts Chicken Stock
1/4 cup ketchup
2 large tomatoes, chopped
1 cup cubed smoked ham (about 6 ounces)
1 pound fresh or frozen okra, sliced
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped cooked chicken (about 6 ounces)
1 1/2 cups crabmeat ( 1/2 pound)
1 pound medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
Juice of 1/2 lemon
3/4 teaspoon hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1
In a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil and flour over medium-high heat, and cook, stirring constantly with a whisk, until the mixture darkens to a brown about the color of peanut butter (about 6 minutes).
2
This is called a roux, and it will thicken the gumbo and give it a deep, rich flavor.
3
Add the celery, onion, bell pepper, and garlic, and saute for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
4
Whisk in the stock, add the ketchup, chopped tomatoes, ham, okra, and salt, and simmer over low heat for about 1 1/2 hours, or until the soup has thickened and the flavors are well combined.
5
Stir in the chicken, crabmeat, and shrimp, and simmer for an additional 10 minutes, until the shrimp are fully cooked and the gumbo is warmed through.
6
Add the lemon juice, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce, taste for seasonings, and serve in shallow bowls over hot steamed rice.
