Okra, Corn, and Tomatoes
"This was the "Recipe of the Day" in today's email from a local grocery store. I am posting it so I remember it when my okra and tomatoes are ready (I'll have to buy the corn!). I have to guess on the prep and cooking times since the recipe says it takes 45 minutes total to make, yet gives no definite times within the recipe."

This looked to simple to be good. I've made okra/tomatoes for years, but this was a twist I wanted to try. The only thing I added was a 1/2 onion to okra. Mine looked totally different, more fresh looking and not as stewed looking. Served with rice and hamburger patties. I ended up mixing them together and it was one of the best garden dishes I've made for sure. Note- I used 1 can stewed tomatoes instead of fresh.

Great recipe! I made this last night with okra from my local farmer's market, fresh sweet corn, and a combination of fresh and canned tomatoes. I did saute 1/2 of a red onion, diced, and a couple of minced garlic cloves with the okra. This is delicious! I recommend that you make a pan of cornbread and crumble a square of it into your bowlful of hot okra, corn, and tomatoes before digging it. Will be making another, bigger batch of this while corn and okra are locally available. Excellent recipe for true, and healthy, comfort food!

I've grown up eating a variation of this recipe....usually had onions in it as well. Now, I add some garlic too. I made this as posted to be true to the recipe, and it was delicious! Thanks for sharing your recipe! -
My biggest complaint for many okra dishes is that it is slimey. By cooking the okra until it no longer "strings" that eliminated the problem. This is a delicious recipe that I made with the first of fresh garden okra. -
Just had to review this recipe. I have made this recipe, minus the measurements for years. I am a throw it in the pan, cook. This is a really great way to use those fresh veggies and at times, I also cut up a fresh onion in it. Thanks for submitting.

My husband and I married straight out of college in July of 1992. I work as the Assistant Manager at a wine shop which allows me to drink on the job! (OK, not that much, but it's still a fun job...) Besides helping customers choose wine they will like (and also help with food and wine pairings for their menus), I also get to help with the catering end of the business, so I get to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen making fun appetizers and beautiful food displays. I also work part-time at the fromagerie next door. So yeah - that means I eat on the job, too. :^D
We live on several peaceful wooded acres on a cute little river in rural NE Wisconsin, with a cranky old-lady Burmese and whatever stray outdoor cats that have decided to adopt us on any given day. The cute puppy in the picture is Jake, our Elhew-bred English Pointer that we brought home on Easter weekend 2007. I've also got 2 painted turtles named Dennis and Fuzz, and a bunch of fish (koi and goldfish, along with the guppies & swordtails in the turtle tank).
I USUALLY eat and cook healthy, but I rarely pass up dessert, either. I do not eat red meat, and try to limit other animal products, too. I love to bake, although I seem to collect a lot of scone and biscotti recipes which I NEVER get around to making. I bake and eat A LOT of cookies and muffins... I almost always reduce the sugar by 1/4 and use whole wheat pastry flour for at least part of the flour. Those two changes do so much to make recipes healthier without compromising taste. I try to reduce fat whenever I can, too, but while I want to eat healthy, I still want to ENJOY what I eat!!!
I seem to give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews here - I seem to have a pretty good sense of what I like by looking at a recipe before I try it. Thank you to anyone that tries my recipes in return, or photographs them.
