Southern Soul Gumbo

Gumbo is perhaps the most literal melting pot of all dishes. Its influences range from African (okra) to French (roux) to Choctaw Indian (filé powder) to German, Spanish, Italian, and beyond. Chef Akhtar's take on Southern gumbo is true to tradition, packed with tender shrimp and spicy Andouille sausage, as well as veggies, rice, and spices. This is a hearty dish packed with flavors and textures that's sure to satisfy!
