It's an interesting contrast to the one he posted, being that it *does* have meat but *doesn't* have a roux ... GUMBO Z'HERBES _________________________________________________________________ This version of the dish, which has also been called "green gumbo", is from Corinne Dunbar's restaurant. Note: Precision measuring is never done in this gumbo. * 1 bunch collard greens * 1 bunch mustard greens * 1 bunch turnip greens * 1 bunch spinach * 1 bunch watercress * 1 bunch beet tops * 1 bunch carrot tops * 1 bunch parsley * 1 bunch chicory * 1 bunch radish tops * 1 bunch pepper grass * 1 green cabbage * 1/2 bunch green onions * 1 gallon water, salted * 1 pound boiled ham, diced * 1 pound lean veal, diced * 2 tablespoons shortening, or oil * 1 large white onion, chopped * 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped * 2 bay leaves * 4 sprigs thyme * 2 whole cloves * 2 whole allspice * salt and pepper to taste * cayenne pepper to taste Wash all greens thoroughly and remove all stems or hard centers. Boil them all together in the water for about two hours. Strain the greens and reserve the water. Chop the greens finely. Saute ham and veal in shortening or oil for about 10 minutes in a deep iron skillet. Add onion and chopped parsley and saute until the onion is browned. Add greens and simmer 15 minutes. Add contents of skillet to water from the greens. Add bay, thyme, cloves, allspice, salt, pepper and cayenne. Cook over a low flame for one hour. Serves 10-12. I've never tried this yet, but I'd really like to. I also wish I knew where I could gather pepper grass out here ... Cheers, Chuck -- C. E.
