Vegetarian Summer Gumbo

This a great summer gumbo recipe which could easily be adapted for meat lovers. I tweaked a recipe I found in a great magazine called “Farmers’ Market Cookbook”, which uses a lot of great summer Farmers ingredients. I also added some protein in the form of tempeh (fermented soy), but some spicy vegetarian sausage would be even better. For those with allergies or sensitivities, check labels for ingredients to tempeh and sausage carefully. Many of the vegetarian sausages for example have soy and/or wheat. I have written this it as very mildly spiced gumbo, for little tasters. It can definitely be “kicked up” for spicy food lovers. Serve this over some white or brown rice and it’s a complete meal.
