FAQ
What is gumbo filé powder?
You will see this ingredient in many gumbo recipes from Louisiana. Filé powder is sassafras leaves that have been dried and ground into a fine powder. It’s used to thicken gumbo just before serving.

Is there a substitute for okra?
Okra helps with thickening and adds a unique taste. If you don’t like it or can’t source it, omit it or there are substitutes. For flavor and thickening, gumbo filé works well, about 1 tablespoon if not already in the recipe. For texture, use chopped nopales, eggplant, or green beans.

Do tomatoes go in gumbo?
Different regions in Louisiana have preferences to add tomatoes. I prefer the tomatoes’ sweetness and acidity, but you can omit them if desired, although the gumbo will be slightly less chunky.

Can this be made in the slow cooker?
Yes! However, the roux must be cooked on the stovetop then transferred to the slow cooker. I also recommend sauteing the vegetable in the roux for better flavor. Add the cooked okra, chicken, and gumbo filé powder in the last hour. Cook on low for 7 to 8 hours, or high for 5 to 6 hours.
