I ate this at least once a week for 20 years. The best gumbo in the world!!!!!
Burk's Cafe is gone now, but we can still enjoy this classic.
The roux:
Combine 1/2 cup flour with 1/2 cup peanut oil, Bring to a low boil over moderate heat. Stir frequently until the roux thickens and turns the color of peanut butter. Take care to avoid scorching in the final minutes. Cool and reserve.
The broth:
Combine tomatoes, puree, and clam juice and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, saut� onions, green onions, and garlic until translucent. Add to liquids. Then, heat spices in the same pan to release essential oils. Scrape spices into the liquid. Deglaze pan with white wine, add okra, and Simmer the broth for one hour. Slowly stir in the brown roux and simmer ten minutes.
Cook you choice of seafood in this base. Serve over a mound of rice with fresh lemon squeezed over the top.
