Ingredients

  • 1 cup green bell pepper
  • 1 cup onion

  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1 pkg frozen okra
  • 2 cans black eye peas with jalapeño peppers
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • 1 pkg Polish sausage
  • 12 oz tomato juice
  • water or broth to thin the gumbo optional
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Chop the green peppers, onion and celery into small pieces. Cut the Polish sausage into bite size slices.
  • Sauté bell pepper, onion and celery.
  • Add remaining ingredients, mix well and cook until boiling. Once it boils, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
