  • 12 slices bacon (about 1/2 pound)
  • 2 pieces ribs celery chopped
  • 1 piece onion chopped
  • 1 piece 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 1 piece 12-ounce can solid white tuna packed in water
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 1 piece jalapeno chile seeded and chopped
  • 1 tsp file powder, such as Zatarain's
  • 1 1/4 cups rice

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.
