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.

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.
