I recently made the gumbo out of Laurel's Kitchen in my slow cooker
with no oil.  It is *fantastic*.  The modified recipe is as follows:

GUMBO

1 onion chopped
3 cloves (that's cloves not cloves of garlic)
1 green pepper, diced
2 cups diced tomatoes
4 cups vegetable stock
1 cup cooked lima beans (also known as butter beans)
1 cup fresh (I used frozen) corn
1.5 cups sliced okra
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp allspice

Saute the onion and green pepper with the cloves in water until soft.
Remove the cloves.  Put all ingredients in a slow cooker on high for 
6 hours or low for 8-10 hours.
Pretty simple!  It's nice to come home at the end of the day and have
everything ready.  I did the lima beans in the slow cooker the night
before so all I had to do was add everything else to them.
