  • Cook the onions in the oil until tender.

  1. Excellent okra recipe! I added black beans, served it over plain cous-cous and it was a great hit! Thank you Chief Jack! Yummy!
     
  2. I'm not from the south but this dish makes me wonder else I've been missing! I made it at the fire station with hot smoked sausage and served it over brown rice. Every guy on our engine company went back for thirds. Definitely a hit!
     
  3. This was really good - I think I'll eat it as a main dish next time!
     
  4. This is a great veggie medley ,and for me a great introduction to okra. I did add the bell pepper early and cooked it with the rest for 5 minutes. Then I added the okra, I used frozen, just add the end, basically just warming it up with the rest. Great side dish. If you are feeding 4-6 people, you might want to double everything.
     
  5. Great way to eat your veggies! I added a Tbsp of Worchestershire sauce and some frozen corn. The okra was just tender and all the flavors blended well. A very colorful side dish. Thanks, Carole in Orlando

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

As a Yankee transplanted to the Old South, my tastes have been slowly educated to the finer and hotter things in life. With 40 years in the Fire-Rescue service, I have had some incredable "on duty" meals, on both ends of the scale! In self defence, even as Chief, I often do the cooking. One thing can be taken as gospel, no matter how much complaining, there are never any leftovers.
