List of Ingredients




3/4 cup of bacon fat
3/4 cup of flour
2 packages (10 oz. each) of frozen chopped okra
1 green bell pepper, chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped
4 green onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, mashed
8 cups of chicken or beef stock
1 - 8 ounce can of tomato paste
2 teaspoons Mrs. Dash Seasoning salt
1 teaspoon of paprika
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
2 teaspoons of salt
4 beef bouillon cubes
2-3 quarts of cooked chicken or turkey, in chunks, and or raw peeled shrimp
Tabasco to taste (optional)

Melt bacon fat. Add the flour, and stir constantly over medium heat until dark brown, taking care not to burn. This takes 30 minutes. If mixture smells liked burned bacon, throw away and begin again. Lower heat and add okra, green pepper, celery, onions, and garlic. Sauté until onions are soft. Add stock, tomato paste, seasonings, and bouillon cubes. Simmer for 2 hours. Add chicken, turkey, and or shrimp 15 minutes before serving. Add Tabasco to taste. Freezes well. Yields 5-6 quarts.
