-
12 slices bacon (about 1/2 pound)

1 piece 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes

Recipe Method
1. In a
large, heavy
skillet, cook the
bacon over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
2. Drain off all but 1/4 cup bacon fat and return the skillet to the heat. Add the celery and onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, tuna and its liquid, tomato paste, jalapeño and 1 cup water and simmer until thickened, about 20 minutes. Whisk in the file’ powder; remove from the heat.
3. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring 2 1/4 cups salted water to a boil. Stir in the rice, cover, lower the heat and simmer until the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Serve the gumbo over the rice and crumble the bacon on top.
