Looks delicious
Thank you Derrick!
I dislike okra. As the first time I made it, I was about 13 or 14 yrs old and I was into trying new vegetables. Do I asked my mom to get some okra. I boiled it in water, as you did most vegetables in the 70’s (typical American cooking) and it was yucky. Ok course later in life I was told okra had to be cooked in butter and with other flavors. My god, that yucky đŸ¤® type syrup that oozed out. I have never tried them since. Same thing happened to cat fish. Again learned later because they’re a bottom feeder you have to prepare it with lots of herbs and other flavors to cover up their foul tasting flesh. Two foods I will never eat again.
Okra is very good and not slimy if cooked properly. Breaded and deep fried is amazing. However, once you have a bad experience with food you never want it again. I’m not much of a fish lover except for perch & walleye that we get from our lake. Catfish I love when we brine and smoke it in the smoker but that is the only way.
I love Perch as well. I have fished it out of Cascade lake here in Idaho. She passed, but our friend made delicious baked perch. Kind’a like casserole style.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen fresh, tinned or frozen okra where I live.
It is a seasonal vegetable here that we have grown in the garden and we can get it frozen from the grocery store.
I’ve only ever had it in UK in Indian restaurants
How interesting!
Okra isn’t a popular vegetable up here, but the meal sounds interesting.
Thank you Susanne! If okra isn’t cooked right is can be slimy, but cooked right it is not I think it is delicious.
This looks like a great winter meal
Our garden tomatoes, corn and okra are ready now. We eat this in the summer here. Thank you!
We love home grown vegies. We have garlic peas beans, broad beans turnips swedes carrots and brocoli and cauli. But have to rely on rain as have to leave to go for 1 month medical treatment so hope its all ok
Your garden will be fine, just take care of you!
We rarely see okra here, perhaps some frozen now and then.
It grows great here but I have to buy it now. It takes up too much garden space in our downsized garden.
There’s something to be said about downsizing!
Yes! Especially the older we get. Lol
this sounds like a delicious combo
Thank you Beth!
I love love love okra. I make a stir fry using ground beef. I’ll have to try using bacon next time. The rendered fat will taste yum, I bet! Ross in the tomato and corn and it sounds like a salsa to me!
Okra is another vegetable my husband stopped planting. I have to buy it now. đŸ˜©
Get a new husband.
đŸ¤£đŸ˜‚đŸ¤£ Good answer!
okra isn’t my favourite food! So I’ll miss this one!
I hated it the first time I ate it, slimy and gross. Then I learned how to cook it to get rid of the slime and now I love it. Thank you for your comment Barry!
Well, that would be healthy for you and what’s a little bacon between friends? It gives it more appeal.
Haha Bacon appeal, I love that!
I knew you would. đŸ™‚
It is a beautiful dish, but I can’t deal with the texture of okra except I tried some fully breaded deep fried okra this summer at a BBQ place and loved it. Now I get it whenever I go there. (There aren’t many restaurants in our little town and this one is just open 4 days a week–unless the owners are out of town.đŸ¤£)
Learning how to cook okra without it being slimy took me a while to figure out. I have a few okra recipes on my blog I have posted. My husband won’t grow it anymore because he downsized the garden and the okra plant grows huge, taking up too much room. đŸ¥² Thank God for farm stands!
Thank you for the reblog!
For a moment I didn’t know what okra was … that’s because we’ve called it “gumbo” for years in South Africa (although nowadays it’s labeled as okra in the more upscale stores). We have never bought it before and maybe we should try it now that you showed such an easy recipe.
How funny, we have gumbo soup with the okra in the soup. Then we have okra like I made, breaded and fried (the best way) and other ways as well. The first time I cooked my own okra, I had no idea that they are gooey inside and I ate the gooey stuff, gross! Then I experimented with different recipes so it lost the gooey stuff and now I love it!
