Preparation
Step 1
Gumbo:
Cut sausage into ½” slices. Using the Food Chopper, coarsely chop the onion and the bell pepper. Slice celery into ½” slices.
Heat ½ cup of the oil in the Pot over medium-low heat 3 minutes. Slowly whisk in the flour with Whisk; stir constantly about 10 minutes, or until roux is milk chocolate in color. Remove roux from the pot; set aside.
Add remaining 1 tsp oil, celery, onion, bell pepper, and pressed garlic using Garlic Press to Pot. Cook 3 minutes or until softened, stirring occasionally.
Stir in broth, tomatoes, roux, seasoning blend, and sausage; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, for cornbread, spray 6 1-cup (250 mL) Prep Bowls with nonstick cooking spray; place into 12” Steamer. Combine cornbread ingredients in a small bowl; mix well. Spoon about ¼ cup of batter into each prep bowl.
Stir shrimp and okra into the pot. Place steamer on pot. Cover and cook 18-22 minutes or until wooden pick inserted into center of cornbread comes out clean.
Remove steamer to hot pad or trivet; let stand 5 minutes. To remove cornbread, run a knife around rims of prep bowls and invert. Ladle gumbo into bowls and serve with cornbread and hot cooked rice, if desired.
