If you have a roux without the okra file its a stew or another dish. Others think gumbo doesn't need okra file and I wonder where they learned that and why they think that?
There are many variations of gumbo that don't include okra but are still called gumbo. I don't buy into that. There are many ways to cook a gumbo. To me when cooking a gumbo, I don't consider okra to be the main ingredient even if I do use it. The stock and roux is way more important to the taste of gumbo than the okra is. And I do use okra with my seafood gumbo but not with my chicken and sausage gumbo.

Stew meat for example is tough, right? You have to slow cook it to break it down and make tender, so you're stewing the meat down.
The protein in this dish could be meat or shellfish. One of the most significant aspects of gumbo is the amount of time in which it is cooked. In order to help the stew come together, most cooks simmer gumbo for three hours at the minimum. Jambalaya originated from the French Quarter of New Orleans. It is a stew that is first made by sauteeing meat and vegetables, which include celery, onions, and peppers. Meat such as chicken or sausage is used for its protein content.
Stock and rice are added, which is then simmered for an hour. Creole jambalaya may include tomatoes, but Cajun does not. Some versions may include Duck, Beef, or Seafood. The easiest way to tell the difference between the two dishes is the addition of rice in the process of cooking. Study guides. Q: Is gumbo a soup or chowder? Write your answer Related questions.
