Frozen Vegetable Mix Key To Easy Chicken Gumbo

[2008-7-21]

Tag : frozen green peppers
I always welcome repeat contributors to the "5:30 Challenge." Onereader who certainly knows his way around the kitchen is AndrewLyons of Atlanta, who has provided "5:30 Challenge" with some ofits best reader recipes over the years.

He sends in a version of gumbo that he perfected after a couple ofattempts. His secret ingredient is a bag of Publix frozen gumbo mixthat has okra, red peppers, onions and corn. He writes: "Igenerally try to use fresh ingredients, but the quality of thisfrozen mix was very good and really convenient."

I agree. It had good flavor and texture. I noticed that the packagesuggested adding stewed tomatoes. As Lyons did, I gave this recipea couple of tries, once using chicken broth as Lyons recommends andagain using stewed flavored tomatoes. Lyons' version provided alightly seasoned meal, but I also liked it with the tomatoes, whichI thought added a more gumbo-like flavor.

Lyons advises placing the chicken on top of the gumbo, instead ofadding it back to the mixture, to keep a crisper crust, and Iagree.

To make the meal, add white rice and corn bread.
