File` Gumbo Special

[slowpoke]

Well the cold weather is almost gone this year,so I thought I'd put down a batch of hot stuff.,one last time lol.
I love my Gumbo,but I add a few extras in it,like mussels.The recipes calls for oakra,shrimp and andouille sausage,(I sub with hot Italian).I also add chicken.All in all it comes out super every time.

I wish I could share this with ya'll.

It looks good.

I have sassafras trees on my property, that are growing like weed. Every year I try to make my on filé powder, just can't get it as fine as I would like.

Hab,I'd try the pestol and mortor.Alittle bit of ground leaves at a time.Just a thought.

Thanks.  Filé has to be real fine, and I have to go through a couple of grinding and shifting steps. Also in my research, there seems to be a disagreement whether to use the leaves gathered in early spring, or wait until late fall. The batches I make are descent, but there is room for improvement.

I didn't realize it was that much work.May-be it is cheaper in the long run to buy some.I can put my time into more important things,like cleaning the smoker trays lol
