 Directions

Put the onion, scallion, bell pepper, celery, okra, garlic, and parsley in
a saucepan and cook while stirring for 5 minutes. Stir in the dry roux and
slowly blend in the water. Add the bay leaf, thyme, pepper, and cayenne and
bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the crab and the chicken,
cover the pot, and continue simmering for 30 minutes.

TO SERVE: Spoon the gumbo into warm soup bowls and top with 1/2 cup rice in
the center of each. Serve immediately.

that it is), there are no tricks to getting this right. The preparation is
as simple as it sounds and as delicious as some far more complicated
preparations.
