CHICKEN GUMBO

Okra is not widely available fresh but it is sold frozen in most supermarkets and makes a perfectly acceptable substitution for fresh. When cooking up this gumbo, I've only called for a pinch of cayenne pepper, but you can add as much heat as you like, according to your taste.

2 chickens (each 2 1/2 to 3 pounds), cut into 8 pieces each

2 teaspoons dried mustard

2 teaspoons sweet paprika

1/8 teaspoon ground allspice

Pinch cayenne pepper, or more to taste

1/4 teaspoon each salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 ribs celery, cut into 1/2-inch dice

2 onions, coarsely chopped

2 red bell peppers, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch dice

1 green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch dice

1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic

4 cups sliced okra (fresh or frozen)

1 can (28 ounces) plum tomatoes, drained, juices reserved, tomatoes coarsely chopped

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 bay leaf

1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

Cooked white rice, optional, for serving

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Rinse chicken pieces and pat dry. Snip off the wing tips and remove any excess fat.

2. Combine the spices and salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture into the chicken pieces.

3. Arrange the chicken in a shallow pan and bake for 15 minutes. Set aside.

4. Place the oil in a large heavy pot over low heat. Add celery, onions, bell peppers, and garlic, and cook, stirring, for 10 minutes. Raise the heat to medium; add the okra and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes.

5. Stir the tomatoes with the juices, tomato paste, thyme, and bay leaf into the pot. Add the chicken along with any pan juices.

6. Simmer over medium-low heat, partially covered, until chicken is tender, about 30 minutes. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes longer. If chicken starts to boil, reduce heat. Adjust seasonings to taste. Stir in the chopped parsley. Serve hot over rice.

    Mediums Rare

    Prolific screenwriter and genre novelist Richard Matheson has long maintained an interest in all matters relating to parapsychology, telepathy, ESP and other paranormal activity. His brief and elegantly printed new volume amounts to a lightly fictionalized history as well as quick, evocative episodes of paranormal activity from Greek antiquity all the way through renowned American psychic Edgar Cayce.Most of the episodes in this book depict the famous seers, mediums and performers of the nineteenth-century, whose feats Matheson clearly admires. Margaret and Kate Fox, aged ten and seven, in 1848 convinced their parents and many other Americans that they were in touch with ghosts in a haunted house. (Matheson notes that the adult Margaret recanted, explaining how she herself produced the ghosts' mysterious rapping noises: he believes the recantation fake, arranged by the sisters' enemies.)
