I'm looking for a good gumbo recipe, but I don't know where to start.

One of the best ways to get started with making a good gumbo is to make sure you have all of your ingredients ready and in place before you begin cooking. Start by sautéing some onion, garlic and bell peppers in oil until they are softened. Next, add some diced celery, carrots, and potatoes and continue to sauté until everything is lightly cooked. Then, stir in some okra and cook it until it's soft. Finally, add some cubed or shredded meat such as chicken, turkey, or pork. Once all the ingredients are added, season the gumbo with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs and spices. Simmer the gumbo over low heat until it thickens slightly. Serve hot with crusty bread on the side. Enjoy!
