Here is how you make Karma's Creole Gumbo:

Makes about 8 1-cup servingsThe cooking time on this recipe is mostly the brown rice - 50min. You could use quicker cooking rice (15min), but I like the health benefits of short brown rice. -I start the rice first, when it's about half way done I start with the prep work. -I mix all the dry spices together in a bowl and set aside. -Then chopped all veggies, kielbasa, and garlic.-Heat olive oil in large skillet, or deep dish pan (you'll be combining everything in this pan so make sure it's big enough). If you're looking to cut some fat here, you can always substitute the oil for chicken broth or water.-Saute the meat, veggies and garlic for a minute, then add half the spice mixture. Stir thoroughly. Cook about 8 min. until veggies are soft and meat is lightly browned.-Rinse beans. Rice should be done. Add both rice and beans to the skillet with a 1/3-1/2c. water. Cook on medium 5min.-Here is the winging-it, taste-testing part. You can add the rest of the spices, or not. Or a little salt and pepper, or not. And depending on what rice you used,you may need to add a little more water to thin the "thickness" factor (brown rice is more sticky/glutenous.
