Fry the tomatoe, onion and okra in about 2 T shortening or oil, until they become tender. Make a roux with 2 ts oil and 2 ts flour, stir and brown over a medium-low heat until the roux is as dark as possible without burning it. Do not burn the roux... just make it real dark. Place chicken and sausage in the roux, stir a bit. Then place all ingredients into a heavy, deep iron pan, add water and cook about 2 hours. Cook slow, add water if needed. The okra will thicken the gumbo as it cooks.
