- 2 Tbsp (30 mL) olive oil
- 8 oz (250 g) Andouille or chorizo style sausage
- 1 cup (250 mL) onion, diced
- 1 cup (250 mL) red pepper, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) celery, coarsely chopped
- 1 Tbsp (15 mL) jalapeno, finely chopped
- 2 Tbsp (30 mL) garlic, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) butter
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) flour
- 8 cups (2 litres) homemade or low-sodium turkey or chicken stock
- 1 (26 oz | 796 mL) can whole tomatoes, chopped
- 1 tsp (5 mL) fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tsp (5 mL) fresh oregano, chopped
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) cayenne
- 1 bay leaf
- 14 oz (400 g) tiger prawns, peeled, tail on
- 2 cups (500 mL) fresh or frozen okra, sliced
- 1 Tbsp (15 mL) fresh lemon juice
- To taste sea salt
- To taste freshly ground black pepper
Method
- Heat a large heavy bottom pot to medium-high and sauté turkey in 1 Tbsp of olive oil until lightly brown.
- Transfer to slow cooker.
- Sauté sausage, onions, peppers, celery, jalapeno and garlic in remaining olive oil until lightly coloured.
- Add butter and stir until it is melted, then add flour and continue stirring until the roux (butter and flour paste) browns slightly and lets off a nutty aroma.
- Add stock and tomatoes with juice and bring to a simmer stirring frequently so sauce does not stick to the bottom.
- Add the herbs and spices.
- Transfer to slow cooker and cook on high for four hours or low for eight hours.
- Add prawns, okra, lemon juice and sea salt and fresh ground pepper to the slow cooker and continue for 20 minutes.
