    Title: Vincent Price's Chicken & Seafood Gumbo
    Categories: Poultry, Seafood, Herbs, Vegetables
    Yield: 8 Servings

    2 md White onions; peeled
    1 lg Stalk celery; root trimmed,
    - w/leaves
    1/2 c Fresh parsley
    2 cl Garlic; peeled
    1/4 lb Sweet butter; more as
    - needed
    2 Shallots; peeled, minced
    3 lb Boneless chicken
    1/2 ts Thyme; opt
    1 1/2 lb Medium shrimp; thawed
    1 lb Scallops
    16 oz Oz tomatoes
    7 1/2 oz Salsa
    2 c Chicken stock
    2 c Diced okra
    Salt & fresh ground pepper

    Put onion, celery, parsley and 1 clove garlic through
    Cusinart (food processor) or chop. Cook onion, celery,
    parsley and garlic together in 4 tablespoons butter until
    vegetables are tender; set aside.

    Saute shallots lightly in 2 tablespoons butter in
    separate skillet; lift out shallots, reserve. Brown
    chicken breasts on both sides in shallot butter. Cook
    chicken, cut into fairly large pieces, preferably same
    size as scallops.

    Melt 2 or 3 tablespoons butter in separate skillet; press
    remaining garlic clove in melted butter, add thyme. Saute
    shrimp lightly until they just begin to turn pink, lift
    out.

    Lightly brown scallops in remaining butter; set aside.
    Combine onion-parsley mixture with tomatoes, salsa and
    chicken stock, simmer over low heat uncovered until
    flavors "marry" and volume is slightly reduced.

    Thirty minutes before serving, reheat tomato-vegetable
    stock with chicken. Add okra, seafood and cook 5 to 8
    minutes before serving, making certain gumbo is piping
    hot.

    Season to taste with salt, pepper. Delicious over hot
    steaming rice.
