     Title: Zoe's File' Gumbo
Categories: Seafood, Pork, Vegetables, Herbs, Poultry
     Yield: 7 servings

     1 lb Unsalted butter
     1 lb All purpose flour
   3/4 lb Ham diced
 2 1/2 lb Andouille
 2 1/2 lb Diced chicken thigh meat
     2 lb Shrimp; peeled
 1 1/2 lb Onion; diced
 1 1/4 lb Bell pepper; diced
   3/4 lb Celery; diced
     2 bn Green onion
     3 tb Garlic minced
 1 1/2 ga Shrimp stock
     1 oz Worcestershire sauce
     3 ts Liquid crab boil
     2    Bay leaves
          Creole seasoning (Tony
          - Chachere's in the green
          - can)
     1 tb File' powder

 First begin with the roux. Melt butter in a heavy gauge
 sauté or sauce pan over medium heat. Slowly add 2/3 of
 the flour stirring continuously. Continue to cook until
 the roux reaches a dark brown color. Add the remaining
 flour and turn off the heat. The roux gives the color to
 your gumbo.

 In a large sauce pot, sauté your andouille, onions, bell
 pepper, celery and garlic until the vegetables are
 tender. Add bay leaf and stock. Bring up to a simmer.

 Slowly add the roux stirring until it has been dissolved
 by the broth.

 Next add the ham and diced chicken. Allow to simmer for
 about 15 minutes.

 At this point you should start to skim the oil and from
 the top of the gumbo.

 Now add your Worcestershire sauce, crab boil and shrimp.
 Allow to simmer for another 15 minutes.

 Now begin to adjust your flavor. Use salt, pepper or
 your favorite Creole seasoning.

 To finish add your green onions and file. This recipe
 makes about 2.5 gal (6 to 8 hearty servings)
