Vegetable Gumbo Creole Recipe

Partially cook lima beans in salted water and then add corn. Add green peppers, okra and celery and cook just until done. Drain.

Place a layer of the vegetable mixture(reserve part of okra for top layer) in a buttered and crumbed baking dish. Then add a layer of tomatoes. Season with salt and peppr, dot with butter and bread crumbs. Repeat until casserole is filled. On top place a layer of okra that has been dipped in bread crumbs and sauteed in a little butter. Cover with bread crumbs and dot with butter. Bake in a 300 degree F. oven for about 1 hour. It can be cooked in the morning and reheated slowly before serving. It's even better the second day.
