Notes: If your fat needs are higher than 70%, thicken with coconut milk.  Rather than using a Roux as traditional with Gumbo, this one relies on tomatoes and okra, so leaving out the okra will make a thinner stew.

      We haven't tried it with riced cauliflower, however, it seems like it would get too mushy. You could probably just add the cauliflower after it's cooked?
