Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 That sounds so good! I wonder if you lighly breaded it, and used cooked potatoes, it could be roasted or broiled ???

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Do you think the okra & vegs would sautee as well using veggie broth so the fat from the oil and the blandness of water could be avoided? It sounds yummy and I can't wait to try it! Gwen , " Rayne " <stargazerlily72 wrote: > > This came about as a " failure " of a an attempt to copy a dish that my > Grans had made.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Hi! I made something like this once, and it's one of the few ways I like okra. I added (to the tomatoes and onions) about a cup of frozen corn kernels (or you could use a drained can of whole-kernel corn, yellow or white), and added also about 1/4 cup chopped bell pepper (or one of those very small jars of chopped pimentos). A little garlic and maybe a pinch of basil, too--it has a neat flavor and all the ingredients are colorful, too! This recipe came about on a whim, because I had tried to make the classic " breaded deep-fried " okra previously, and didn't like it much that way. I had the okra on hand and --voila! I loved the mixed veggie dish with the tomatoes, okra, onions, peppers and corn! YUMM-O! --Laura B., in Illinois Okra Hash 1 lb fresh okra 1 large onion 1 (15oz) can diced tomatoes (drained) Directions: *Heat just a bit (enough to coat the pan)of olive oil or water in a large cast iron skillet over med.heat *Dice the onion, add to pan, stir occasionally *Cut the ends off the okra and cut into slices *Add okra to pan *Turn heat up to med-high *Add a bit of salt and pepper, to taste *Cook, stirring regularly until okra and onion are nicely browned *Add tomatoes and cook about a minute more, stirring constantly, just til tomaotes are heated through ***Thats it!

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 What you are describing is what my grandmother and my mom made when I was growing up and what I have made as well. My mom always called it Okra Gumbo. It is delicious! Nancy C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
