WINTZELL'S GUMBO
According to DH, the world's best gumbo is served at Wintzell's Oyster House in Mobile, AL, so I was really excited when I received Alabama's "Thicket" magazine with the recipe for it inside. Wintzell's has been in business since 1938, was named in Willard Scott's All-American Cookbook for the Best Oysters and Crabs, and has been featured in Southern Living Magazine. I'll probably do a mixture of shrimp and oysters for the gumbo instead of using just oysters. If you're ever near Mobile, AL, Wintzell's is not to be missed!

Steps:
- Sift flour; brown in lard to a golden-brown color, stirring constantly to prevent burning or lumping.
- Add half of the chopped onion, garlic, bell pepper, and celery and saute for one minute. Add this mixture to the boiling water and mix thoroughly.
- Add remaining onion, garlic, bell pepper, celery, and the bouillon cubes, and boil for 10 minutes.
- Add oysters and simmer for at least 30 minutes.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, bring to rapid boil and add filé powder. Mix well and remove from heat. Let sit for at least 15 minutes and serve over rice.
SHRIMP AND OYSTER GUMBO WITH OKRA
Steps:
- To make the shrimp stock: Peel the shrimp, and toss the heads and shells into a large stock pot; refrigerate the peeled shrimp until ready to cook in the gumbo. Add the crab, onion, bay leaves, thyme, cayenne, Old Bay, and lemons to the pot. Cover with 2 1/2 quarts of cold water. Allow the liquid to slowly come to a boil, and then lower the heat. Gently simmer for 45 minutes, uncovered, skimming any foam that rises to the top. Strain the stock into a heatproof container or another pot to remove the chunky solids; at this point you should have about 2 quarts of flavorful broth to use in the gumbo. Cool until needed.
- To make the gumbo, you must start with a roux base: Melt the butter over medium-low heat in a Dutch oven or other large, heavy pot. Just as the foam subsides, add the flour, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or whisk to prevent lumps - it may lock-up like cake frosting but just keep stirring through it. Cook the roux until it's the color of a walnut and smells equally as nutty, this should take about 15 minutes.
- Add the onions, celery, bell pepper, garlic, and okra (if it ain't got okra, it ain't gumbo!); season with salt, cayenne, and Old Bay. Mix in the tomatoes, bay leaves, and thyme. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring now and then, until the vegetables are soft. Pour in the cooled shrimp stock and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, and then reduce the heat. Simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gumbo is dark and thick. Toss in the shrimp and oysters, cook about another 15 minutes; adjust seasoning.
- To serve: Ladle the gumbo into shallow bowls and pile some rice in the center. Sprinkle the parsley and green onions over the top. Pass the French bread and hot sauce at the table.
