(1 votes, average: 3.00 out of 5)Poor Man’s Stew, a quick and easy dinner recipe, made from scratch and full of flavor.
I have cooked this recipe several times and followed the steps to the best of my abilities. As a genuine southern coastal Florida and South Alabama I really enjoy good food that is well prepared. I have read through more than a hundred of the reviews of this excellent recipe. Realizing that all ingredients are not available in all areas that one would like to cook this work of art I am puzzled by those who seem to underrate it after modifying the ingredients or cooking procedures. This procedure is akin to taking a picture of a sunset at noon and then criticizing the outcome. I’m not sure that this isn’t the highest-rated recipe on the web. It is certainly the best gumbo that I have ever tasted when made exactly as directed. I applaud the cooks that offered this to the world we owe you our thanks.
