    It took me a few tries to get this recipe right. I normally like to use a roux etc for my gumbo, but wanted to come up with a recipe that was as little hands-on as possible. I think this is it…

    Ingredients:

    * 12 Ounces Andouille Sausage sliced
    * 12 Ounces Fresh Okra sliced
    * 2 Pounds Chicken Thighs skinless and boneless
    * 1 Pounds Pork Neck Bones
    * 1 Each Yellow Onion diced
    * 1 Each Green Bell Pepper diced
    * 1 Rib Celery diced
    * 4 Cloves Garlic minced
    * 2 Each Bay Leaves
    * 1 Tablespoon Creole Seasoning
    * 1 (15 Ounce) Can Tomato Puree
    * 5 Cups Chicken Broth
    * 2 teaspoons Browning Sauce
    * ½ teaspoon File Powder

    Instructions:

    * Add the sliced Andouille Sausage to a large skillet and saute over medium-high heat until caramelized (about 10 minutes).
    * Add to the slow cooker, but keep the juices in the skillet. Next add the okra to the skillet and saute over medium-high heat until no more slime remains. Don’t stir too often.
    * Add the okra to the slow cooker, along with the chicken thighs, pork necks, onions, bell pepper, celery, garlic, bay leaves and Creole seasoning.
    * Pour over the chicken broth and give a stir. Cook on low for 8 hours.
    * When the cooking time is up, remove the pork bones (the pork should have fell off the bones) and remove the bay leaves.
    * Add the browning sauce and the gumbo file powder. Stir well and serve over white rice.
