Gumbo 2 Recipe

Mix oil and flour in a heavy skillet to make roux. Cook until medium dark brown, stirring mixture constantly. This takes about 40 to 50 minutes on the stove. When done, put roux in 4 quarts of water on medium heat; stir until roux is dissolved. Add onion, celery and bell pepper. Let cook for 1 hour on medium heat. Add green onion, shrimp (or other meat) and seasonings; cook for 30 minutes. Serve over steaming rice.
