Ok, Okra is not one of my staples. In fact, I think I had it once - battered and deep fried, smothered with ranch dressing (ala Oklahoma). I didn't like it.
So, don't ask me why but I was at the store looking at the frozen veggies and decided to grab a bag of okra. That was a good 9 months ago and tonight I finally decided to cook it, as recommended by a true okie! The recipe is so simple, so fast and yes - delicious!
1 bag frozen Okra (about 14 ounces)
1-2 cups of pearl onions
1.5 tsp salt
.5 tsp pepper
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 Tbl EVOO
I sauteed the onions in the olive oil a little then added all the rest and simmered it on low for about 15 minutes.
I'm seriously surprised at how good it is and the okra is so plump and juicy and tender - nothing like the last time I had it. I might have liked a little more tomato in this - but I still recommend it with 2 thumbs up ;)
