    Add in the butter and once melted, add in the flour. Mix well and cook for a few minutes until the color starts to brown. Next, add in the stock and the tomatoes. Mix well and simmer for 5 minutes. Next, add in the Zatarain's continuing to mix the ingredients. Add back in the holy trinity and let simmer for 10 minutes.
