Leah Chase's Gumbo z'Herbes recipe

Every Holy Thursday since the early 1950s, just about seven decades, Leah Chase has stirred up a gumbo z’herbes like none other. I must have been one of the lucky people who were represented in making a new friend for every green added to her huge pot. That adds up to a whole big bunch of friends for Miss Leah.

The recipe is in Mrs. Chases' Dookey Chase Cookbook written in 1990. When I learned that she passed away, I ordered the book and made this gumbo. It's a lot of work to clean and chop all of those greens, but its worth it. Serve it to a crowd...it makes a lot and everyone will be happy.

Meat? I like Mr. Belton, but this dish is traditionally served during Lent. Of course, it's not solely Lenten fare, so go for it. Also, y'all didn't mention Dr.John. He and Dooky both passed about a week apart.
