It was easier than I expected and I'm sure it'll be even easier next time when I'll be more familiar with the process. Layering the flavors in each stage was fun.
It warms my heart. I love my found family.

The friends I would usually spend NYE/NYD with for Dank Hour make gumbo for 1/1 and call it Gumbo Recovery. I wanted to continue on that tradition in my new home in Pittsburgh so I got the recipe from him and made it myself!!

Cooking the fond from the okra was interesting. He didn't say how long it would take, and about 30 minutes in I was worried I was doing it too long and texted him. He said it takes about an hour and was like OH OK.
Re: New Years Gumbo Success!!!
An okra fond is wild to me but... New Orleans.

Re: New Years Gumbo Success!!!
oh shit are you from New Orleans? The friend the recipe came from is cajun. I think this particular recipe was also for the gluten intolerant folks if I remember right.
Re: New Years Gumbo Success!!!
Oh no I'm not, I more meant that if anyone would use an okra fond, it would be a New Orleans recipe.
