Elaine Thornton - Long Beach, Mississippi
Bake-Off® Contest 6, 1954
Tomatoes, crab meat and okra team up for a winning flavor combination in this marvelous gumbo from the 1950s. It has been updated to use refrigerated flaky biscuit dough for the crouton toppers, speeding up the preparation time.


   GUMBO
   3/4 cup chopped celery
   1/3 cup chopped green bell peppers
   1/3 cup chopped onions
   2 garlic cloves, minced
   3 tablespoons olive oil
   1/4 cup all-purpose flour
   3 cups water
   1 (16-ounce) can whole tomatoes, undrained, cut up
   1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
   1 teaspoon salt
   1/8 teaspoon pepper
   1 cup diced canned, frozen or fresh okra
   1 (6-ounce) can crabmeat, drained
   
   CROUTONS
   1 (12-ounce) can flaky refrigerated biscuits
   1 tablespoon margarine or butter, melted
   2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
   Paprika


In large saucepan, cook celery, bell pepper, onion and garlic in oil 5 minutes. Blend in flour; cook over medium heat about 10 minutes or until mixture browns, stirring constantly. Gradually add water and tomatoes, stirring constantly. Stir in remaining gumbo ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 1 hour.
Heat oven to 400°F. Separate dough into 10 biscuits; cut each into 4 pieces. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Brush with margarine; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and paprika. Bake at 400°F. for 6 to 9 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet immediately; cool on wire racks. Pour gumbo into individual serving bowls; top each serving with croutons.
