- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 16 oz chicken stock
- 1 medium bell pepper

- 1 tbsp Savoie's® Dark Roux
- 1 16 oz package Savoie's® Andouille

Directions
- Slice the Savoie's® andouille into discs and begin browning it in a deep pan on the stovetop.

- Cut a small "X" on the bottom of each tomato. Immerse the tomatoes in boiling water for 30 seconds, then remove them to an ice bath.
- Remove skins from tomatoes.
- Remove the sausage and set it aside. Deglaze the pan with a little of the chicken stock and add the bell pepper, onion, and celery and sauté until translucent.
- Add the garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute.
- Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, the rest of the chicken stock, and the roux to the pan. Mash the tomatoes into small pieces with a wooden spoon.
- Simmer all ingredients for 30-45 minutes or until thickened to desired consistency.
- If desired, add the frozen okra 10 minutes before serving time. Serve over cooked rice while the okra is tender but still crisp.
