Pork Gumbo
Yeah, you read that right- Pork Gumbo. It takes about an hour from start to finish, so it's quick. It tastes wonderful, so there's that. Give it a shot!
What ya need:
* 1 pound pork loin, cubed
* 1 tablespoon butter
* 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
* 1 cup beef broth or homemade beef stock
* 1 15oz. can stewed tomatoes
* 10oz sliced okra
* 10oz frozen succotash
* 1 teaspoon Frank's Red Hot sauce
* 1.5 teaspoon black pepper
* 1 bay leaf
Ok, so:
You're gonna want a dutch oven for this one. If you don't have one, a large pot works too. So, spray your Dutch oven with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Heat up the oven over medium heat and as soon as the pan is hot, add the pork. Cook the pork for about 4-5 minutes, or until it's lightly browned on all sides. Now, using tongs, take the pork out of the oven and set aside. Then add the butter to the oven. Once the butter is half-way melted, add the flour and start stirring. In a short time, you should have an aromatic brown sauce, called a roux. Once you achieve this, whisk in the broth and the other ingredients, including the pork. Bring this to a boil. Then reduce the heat a little and let the gumbo simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Now grab those tongs from earlier and pull out the bay leaf. Serve hot! I like this with a little rice on the side, but it's great on its own! Wait.... grab a beer. Beer goes great with pork.
