    My husband has begged for me to make this simple recipe since his mother made it over the summer. Now that it’s winter, I really see the need to humor him.

    Blended okra (or sliced if you like the flavor and texture) thickens the gumbo. Corn starch is an acceptable alternative if okra isn’t available in your grocer’s freezer.

    Speaking of the freezer, this meal is freezable in both the before and after phases. The ingredients can be combined in a bag and frozen, then defrosted before cooking. Or the finished gumbo can be frozen in a leak-proof container.

    I firmly believe the most important part of this recipe is the oregano. Don’t cheat yourself. Feel free to use more. It just makes everything feel right.

      I am excited to try this tonight for dinner. I used sliced frozen okra as the recipe calls for and have been cooking the gumbo in a slow cooker for 4 hours. The flavor is good, but the gumbo has not thickened at all. Any ideas why?
