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.

6 to 8 portions

  • Odd & True

    Odd & True

    Trudchen grew up hearing Odette's stories of their monster-slaying mother and a magician's curse. But now that Tru's older, she's starting to wonder if her older sister's tales were just comforting lies, especially because there's nothing fantastic about her own life—permanently disabled and in constant pain from childhood polio. In 1909, after a two-year absence, Od reappears with a suitcase supposedly full of weapons and a promise to rescue Tru from the monsters on their way to attack her. But it's Od who seems haunted by something. And when the sisters' search for their mother leads them to a face-off with the Leeds Devil, a nightmarish beast that's wreaking havoc in the Mid-Atlantic states, Tru discovers the peculiar possibility that she and her sister—despite their dark pasts and ordinary appearances—might, indeed, have magic after all.

    幽影之星

    在霜之森的腹地,今天的最低气温是零下一百五十九摄氏度。就我所知,如果与这个宇宙的绝大多数地方相比,这样的温度其实不算太低——要知道,如果换算成热力学温标,也就是“开尔文”这个古老的单位,外头的气温其实还有上百度之高。不过就一颗有生命的类地行星,尤其是像西米里亚这样发展出了复杂的地表生态系统的行星的赤道地区而言,这里却实在是冷得有些过分。无尽的严寒就像一层看不见的裹尸布,紧紧地将整个世界的每一寸土地都包裹其中,直到永远。当然,也包括了我现在所处的这座建筑物。
