Vegetarian Gumbo

Ever had a veggie gumbo ala crockpot?

Vegetarian Gumbo

1 onion, chopped
1/2 green peppers, diced
2 celery ribs, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 lb okra, sliced, fresh,frozen
1 lb tomato, fresh, or canned
2 cups corn, fresh, frozen, or canned
1 tsp vegetable bouillon granules
1/2 cup white grape juice
1/2 cup water
1/4 tsp Tabasco sauce
1/4 tsp paprika
2 Tbs chopped fresh parsley
1 Tbs basil or rosemary, minced

In a skillet or pot, place bouillon and white grape juice, onion, green pepper, celery, garlic, and cook until tender, 5-7 minutes. Once tender, move to crockpot and add other ingredients and cook on low for 6-7 hours or until until corn and okra are done. If you use dried herbs, rub them with the palms of your hands before adding to the pot, this releases their mojo.
