Hi this is David from the Big Easy Catering Company in Santa Barbara, California for expertvillage.com. Today we are going to be making a Cajun gumbo. What gumbo is it is a sort of a Cajun stew made with different types of things: okra actually is called a "gumbo" down in the Caribbean. I'm going to be doing sort of a Haitian-Cajun version of the dish today. We are going to be adding a lot of great ingredients and this will be a little Caribbean twist, so this is going to be fun. We are going to use sausage and ham, and we will go over all the ingredients in a moment. There's as many types of gumbo as there are cooks in Louisiana so you can pick out your own ingredients. It was made by the Cajuns in the beginning with whatever they had and mixed a very savory stew so let's get this going.
