New England Gumbo?
Bought fresh-picked okra from an African lady at the market and threw together this "gumbo" with linguiça, leftover grilled chicken thigh piri piri, some local bell peppers, onion, a can or so of fire-roasted diced tomatoes, and Lobster! Also dried thyme, bay leaves, File powder, Worcestershire and chipotle tabasco, chicken stock and some sugar. What I did not do is spend a half-hour cooking roux, but I'm definitely doing this again...
