Prepare vegetables and rice
Measuring Cups
Cutting Board
Chef’s knife

Dice the onion, bell pepper, and celery, mince the garlic, slice the okra, and rinse the rice until the water runs mostly clear.

Keep the chef’s knife blade angled away from your fingers while dicing and slicing.

1 cup yellow onion
1 cup green bell pepper
1 cup celery
1 tablespoon garlic
1 pound okra
1 cup white rice
2
Cook the rice
Measuring Cups
Medium saucepan with lid

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup rice with 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, cook for 15 minutes, then rest covered for 5 minutes.

Open the lid away from your face and hands to avoid steam burns.

1 cup white rice
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
3
Make the roux
Whisk
Measuring Cups
Wooden spoon
Dutch oven

In a Dutch oven over medium heat, warm vegetable oil. Whisk in all-purpose flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the roux is peanut-butter brown and smells toasty, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Stir the roux constantly to prevent scorching and reduce hot oil splatters.

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4
Cook the trinity
Wooden spoon
Dutch oven

Stir in yellow onion, green bell pepper, and celery and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

1 cup yellow onion
1 cup green bell pepper
1 cup celery
1 tablespoon garlic
5
Add vegetables and seasonings
Measuring Spoons
Wooden spoon
Dutch oven

Stir in okra, diced tomatoes with juices, Cajun seasoning, and kosher salt. Cook for 3 minutes to coat the vegetables in the roux.

1 pound okra
1 can tomatoes
1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
6
Simmer the gumbo
Measuring Cups
Wooden spoon
Dutch oven

Gradually stir in the remaining 3 1/2 cups vegetable broth until smooth. Simmer uncovered over medium-low heat, stirring often, until the gumbo is thickened and the okra is tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.

Keep the pot handle turned inward and stir gently to avoid splashes from the hot gumbo.

3 1/2 cups vegetable broth
7
Serve
Wooden spoon

Fluff the cooked rice and ladle the okra and vegetable gumbo over it. Serve hot.
