How to Make Crock Pot Mungo Gumbo

  1. In a large skillet, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup vegetable oil over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until a dark brown roux forms (this will take approximately 15-20 minutes).
  2. Transfer the roux to your slow cooker.
  3. Add 1 pound Andouille sausage, sliced; 1 large onion, chopped; 2 celery stalks, chopped; 1 green bell pepper, chopped; 4 cloves garlic, minced; 1 teaspoon dried thyme; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste); and 1 teaspoon salt to the slow cooker.
  4. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 4 cups chicken broth, 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained, and 1 cup of mungo beans.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the sausage is cooked through and the flavors have melded.
  6. During the last hour of cooking, stir in 1 medium zucchini, chopped and 1 cup of frozen peas.
  7. Serve hot over white or brown rice. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
