Guest guest Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 One pound of fresh okra or 16oz bag of frozen cut okra 1 large onion 1 teaspoon garlic powder 2 small ripen Romana tomatoes 1 & 1/2 teaspoon of sugar 1/4 cup of vegetable oil 1/2 can of whole kernel corn or more if you like 1/2 teaspoon of pepper teaspoon Wash Okra and slice cut off ends if frozen okra rinse also, heat heavy deep skillet or pan add oil and on medium gently stir fry okra, constanly stir to prevent sticking cook about 10 minutes then add 1/1/2 cups of water, stir then add diced onions and garlic powder, let it slowly boil down, do not cover. dice tomatoes put in a bowl and add sugar set aside, constantly stir okra, it will be a little slimy so you must keep stirring it to prevent it from sticking, when water cooks out add another cup and constantly stir this is what I call smothering the okra down after adding water to it 3 or 4 times and stirring you will know when its done because it will be tender, the slim will be almost gone and the oil you first put in will rise to top and you can skim it off, add tomatoes and make sure you drain the corn turn the heat down and simmer for about 45 minutes to an hour, I add sliced smoked sausage to this recipe so it can cook along with the okra or I add a half pound of cleaned deviened shrimp the last 8 to 10 minutes of cooking, serve with hot rice Language is an expression of thought.
