This. And she said if your recipe calls for adding raw okra, throw the cookbook away. WTF?!
I have New Orleans cookbooks older than her, and they (and I) always use raw okra. The slimy character of the okra is what gives it a lot of its thickening qualities. I just cut the okra fine, and when my gumbo is done, there is no sign of okra or slime....just a hint of okra flavor way in the background.
Also not sure why Bobby cooked shrimp w shells/heads on. Those are used to make the stock. This isnt bbq shrimp.
I was born and raised in NOLA, and I nor immediate family ever used tomoatoes in gumbo.
