CRAB AND SHRIMP GUMBO WITH OKRA
My grandma gave me a famous Louisiana cookbook (if you are a Louisiana native, you know what I'm talking about) when I was a teenager. I watched her make famous-around-town gumbo so many times as a kid. I took the book's "second edition" recipe and what I learned from her and came up with my own hybrid of the two. My daughters have asked me for my recipe, so here is my best recollection of it.

Steps:
- Heat 1/2 cup oil in a large stockpot over medium-low heat until a pinch of flour sprinkled into the oil just begins to bubble. Whisk in the flour to form a thick paste the consistency of cake frosting. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until the flour is very dark brown and the color of melted chocolate, about 45 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and add okra, onion, celery, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, until onions are translucent and veggies are cooked, 6 to 8 minutes. Add diced tomatoes, cover, and bring to a simmer.
- Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add okra and cook, stirring constantly, until tender and no longer stringy or slimy, about 10 minutes. Add to simmering roux mixture and simmer over low heat, stirring frequently, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add 6 cups water plus file powder, Creole seasoning, salt, pepper, cayenne, and bay leaves. Cook, uncovered, tasting a few times as it cooks to adjust spices and adding more water if necessary, until gumbo is as thick as you would like, at least 2 to 3 hours. The longer it cooks, the better.
- Stir in shrimp and crabmeat; cook for 15 more minutes. Ladle gumbo over hot rice in serving bowls.

Steps:
- Peel and devein the shrimp. The shells may be used to make a broth (see recipe).
- Cut the sausage on the bias into thin rounds, each about 1/4 inch thick
- Cut the ham into 1/2-inch cubes.
- Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a casserole and add the sausage. Cook, stirring often, until sausage is lightly browned. Add the ham and stir. Cook about one minute. Transfer the meats to a bowl and set aside. Pour off the fat from the casserole.
- Add the garlic, onion, scallions and green pepper to the casserole. Cook, stirring, until vegetables are wilted.
- If fresh okra is used, trim off any tough stems. Cut the okra into small rounds. There should be about one cup. Add this to the casserole and stir. Continue cooking until vegetables become fairly dry, about five minutes.
- Add the tomatoes, bay leaf, 2 1/2 cups of the shrimp broth or water, Tabasco and Worcestershire sauces, salt and pepper. Add the ham and sausage mixture. Bring to a boil.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a small skillet and add the flour, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring, until the flour is browned. Take care not to burn the flour or it will be bitter.
- Add the remaining half-cup of shrimp broth or water while stirring rapidly with a wire whisk. Stir this sauce into the sausage and ham mixture.
- Add the peeled shrimp and lemon slices and cook about 10 minutes. Add the crab meat. Stir gently to prevent breaking up the lumps. Cook about five minutes. Serve with plain boiled rice.

CURRIED SHRIMP AND CRAB GUMBO
Arvinder Vilkhu is chef of Saffron Nola, the New Orleans Indian restaurant he owns with his family. Mr. Vilkhu developed this gumbo recipe over the 30-plus years he's lived in New Orleans, incorporating curry leaves, fresh ginger and other ingredients and spices from his native India. At the restaurant, Mr. Vilkhu places the black pepper, cilantro and scallions in the bottom of the bowl to serve, and the pours the gumbo over them, which he believes keeps the flavors of the ingredients sharp.

Steps:
- Make the roux: In a large pot, heat the oil over medium until just short of smoking, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, stir the flour into the oil, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring almost constantly, until the roux is the color of milk chocolate, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Add the onion, bell pepper and celery to the roux. Cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are softened, 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Stir in the stock, crushed tomatoes, curry leaves (discard the stems), bay leaves, turmeric and thyme, along with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon chile powder. Bring the gumbo to a boil over high heat. Once the mixture boils, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the flavors meld, skimming the skin that forms on the surface, about 1 hour.
- Season the shrimp with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon chile powder. Stir the shrimp into the gumbo and cook until shrimp is pink and cooked through, about 2 minutes. Stir in the crab meat and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
- Crack black pepper into empty soup bowls, then divide the cilantro and scallions among the bowls. Add a scoop of steamed rice to each bowl then ladle the gumbo on top to serve.

- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together the 1/4 cup canola oil and bacon grease with flour in a Dutch oven or deep cast-iron skillet. Place uncovered in the oven and whisk every 20 minutes until the roux turns the color of melted chocolate. This should take about an hour and a half to two hours. Be careful not to touch the roux. It will be very hot.
- Heat canola oil and bacon grease over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously until the roux turns the color of melted chocolate. This could take up to an hour, depending on your heat. Don’t turn the heat up too high to make the roux cook faster because it could burn. I typically keep mine slightly under medium to be safe, but I wouldn't go past medium.
