Fricaseed Chicken, Pork, Beef, or Seafood

Garlic, diced
Ro-Tel tomatoes (optional)

Make a roux by browning the flour and cooking oil, stirring constantly. When it is dark brown, add the onions and garlic and continue stirring until the onions are soft. Add the meat and about 5 cups of water and cook until the meat is tender and the gravy is thick and creamy. Add potatoes and tomatoes and cook until potatoes are done. Serve over rice. This is great with potato salad if you don't put potatoes in as part of the recipe.
