Mealthy Tip

Substitute fresh tomatoes for the canned diced tomatoes for a fresher flavor. You can also use frozen okra in place of the canned, if desired.

If you aren't vegan, try adding chicken sausage and/or shrimp to the gumbo.

Jamie Blackwell says:

Haven't tried it yet, but looks good. My family is from the Gulf Coast, gumbo is part of our food tradition. We always what is referred to in Cajun cooking as the "holy trinity" - onions, bell pepper, and celery. You might consider adding celery to the onion and bell peppers, just for authenticity! LOL I'm pretty sure I'll change to 5 stars after I try it!

Kennedy Luca says:

Nothing compares to my mom's seafood gumbo, but I really enjoyed this nourishing bowl of vegetarian gumbo. The flavors were spot on. Especially with the okra. I did add celery to the recipe, but other than that made no variations and was really pleased.

Bill Austin says:

My wife and I made this for our Meatless Monday meal and with a few tweaks of the recipe we enjoyed it very much. We didn't have avocado oil so I substituted that with some chili pepper infused oil and we used fresh okra instead of canned.
