"seafood taste without the seafood but uses sea veggies instead. Note to Ornish exclude the oil and use a bit of Braggs instead."

directions

NOTE the computer doesn't understand Kombu. so Fresh Seedweed should be Kombu instead.
Soak seaweeds in hot water or veggie broth and set aside.
In small amount of water or veggie broth, saute okra, onion, pepper and garlic over medium heat until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
Make a roux with the flour and oil by blending until well mixed and cooking over a medium heat until brown (but not black), about 10 minutes.
Add liquid from seaweed very slowly, mixing to remove any lumps and simmer. Add seaweed, bay leaves, thyme and hot pepper until mixed. Add tomatoes, combine with cooked okra and simmer 5 minutes. Remove bay leaves and serve.

I don't like seaweed but this gumbo tastes great. It's easy to make and the texture is perfect.

AND that is the end of this. If the phone doesn't ring? It's me. If you are looking to ask me a question? I'm not here. I won't answer. I do not assure you that the ingredients, amounts or even the directions in any recipe under my two accounts are correct due to the bad directional pointer in the database that is causing problems with the amounts or ingredients. I will also NOT assure you they are correct when the site claims they are fixed. Use at your own risk. They will be correct on my site. End of story. Sigh..
