food Thegreenchilemonster Cooks For Three

I picked up three live "new shell" lobsters flown in this morning from Nova Scotia for a reasonable $26. I of course fired up the grill

Grilled "spatchcocked" lobster basted in aji limo/kerrigold/garlic/lemon juice/parsley, steamed artichoke with lobster bast dunk, brussels sprouts covered with bacon slices & baked, kale/spinach/chard sliced garden marzanos.

Hatch red chile con carne smothered on top of a bed of fried eggs, and deep fried Hatch green chiles rellenos coated in almond flour batter.
Your cooking and avatar tell the tale of a someone from New Mexico. Great state and some of my favorite American cuisine. Looks devine.

Gumbo with a load of fresh veggies from my garden. Trinity of onion, aji dulce peruano/scotch bonnets, and celery. Loads of okra from the garden as a thickener, since a roux is out of the question from my low carb lifestyle right now. Chicken and spicy andouille sausage for the protein. Soooo bomb!

That bowl looks delicious!!!
 
Two suggestions for you to make a healthy low carb thicker gumbo. Smothered the okra till all the slime is cooked out of it, it keeps an okra flavor and can be used as a thickener or a side dish. You really should try it at least once, I think you're gonna like it. I bake it at 375 for a few hours while stirring then bag and freeze it for later.
 
The next thing is you can dehydrate the okra then run it through the food processor to make a powder. The okra will dry faster if you slice it 1/4" and lay them out on the trays.

Great advice man, thanks! I have okra coming out of my ears right now from the garden. I can definitely dehydrate some, for flour.
