Instructions
First make the thickening agent, the roux. Over low heat in a large skillet, heat 4 tablespoons of canola oil and then slowly whisk in the flour, a little at a time to prevent clumps from forming. Increase heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is a dark caramel color. Remove from heat and slowly whisk in the chicken stock, then set aside.
In a large Dutch oven or stock pot, heat remaining canola oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion, Creole seasoning, garlic, celery, diced tomato, green bell pepper, Portuguese sausage and kalua chicken for about 5 minutes. Add the thickened stock mixture and bay leaves, bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer for 30 minutes. Add okra (or edamame), Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco and black pepper and simmer for an additional 15 minutes. Serve over hot brown rice and garnish with green onion.
