A question always comes to mind for us west coast people, and that is,
other than gumbo, how do you cook okra?

Here's one of our favorites, ya gotta add whatever proportions sound
good to ya.....we be cookin' here Billy, not measurin'...this ain't
Food Lab.

Stewed Okra and Tomatoes (for specifics and variations, go to
cooks.com)

Tomatoes and juice or broth or water or wine (I always add some wine)

Onions...lots of em... and garlic...lots
Sliced Okra.....lots and lots
Green Pepper.....or red....or not.

Simmer sliced okra in water for five minutes, drain, set aside
Saute onions nicely as well as peppers
Add garlic last minute or so
Add tomatoes and liquid and okra and simmer til ready (20 mins or so)
Season with something hot and cajun like.....Essence is always good.

We ladle over brown rice and then I get stupid with hot sauce. Tabasco
Chipotle is one of my favorites. It is good on everything.

Enjoy, this is some seriously good stuff
Charlie

Thanks, kid.
