  1. In a large pot saute in olive oil the onions, peppers, celery, garlic and sausage. When translucent add cooked chicken and oregano. Then add tomatoes, chicken broth, bay leaves, gumbo file, worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and hot sauce and bring to simmer. Add kitchen bouquet if desired.

  2. Brown the flour in a 325 degree oven until brown. Mix with fat from above mixture to make roux. Add roux to the mixture and stir well. The mixture should thicken to the consistency of a medium cream sauce. Let this simmer 10 minutes. (Then you can cool and divide this base into containers for freezing, if desired.)

  3. Bring base to a boil. Add all seafood except oysters. Bring back to a boil.

  4. Reduce heat to simmer. Add oysters and okra. Let simmer for 10 minutes and serve immediately on steamed rice.
