Recipe Instructions

Cook sausage (cut into 1/4-inch slices) in large heavy saucepan over medium-high heat 4 to 5 minutes or until brown. Remove sausage; set aside. Drain fat.

Combine oil and flour in 2-cup glass measure. Microwave on HIGH 6 to 9 minutes; stirring after 5 minutes with small wire whisk. Continue to cook at 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until roux is dark red-brown.

Pour roux into heavy saucepan; add onions, green peppers, celery, garlic, salt, black pepper, red pepper, thyme and oregano. Cook, stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Add broth and bay leaf; bring to a boil. Add reserved sausage; reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes.

For those watching their fat intake, prepare gumbo and cool. The fat will rise to the top and may be skimmed off with a spoon.

Reheat, if necessary. Add shrimp, simmer 10 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Spoon gumbo into serving bowls; top each with 1/2 cup rice.

This recipe yields 8 servings.
