Best 6 Cajun Style Corn And Tomato With Fried Okra Recipes

OKRA, CORN AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir to release some of the juices, then add the onion and okra. Fry until tender and browned, stirring constantly. Be careful, as this tends to brown quickly.
• Pour in the tomatoes, and simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes. Mix in the corn, and simmer for another 10 minutes. Season with file powder, salt and pepper, and serve.

JEN'S DEEP FRIED CAJUN OKRA

Steps:

• 1. If using whole fresh okra, wash thoroughly, drain, and cut stems off. You can slice them in half length-wise or slice them into 1/2 inch rounds. Frozen cut okra saves time. Place in a bowl and set aside.
• 2. Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven to 350 degrees F. (You may not need to use this much oil; do not fill the pan more than halfway up the sides with oil.) Get a cookie sheet and line with paper towels. Set aside.
• 3. In a medium bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.
• 4. In a separate bowl add buttermilk and hot pepper sauce. Whisk together.
• 5. Dip okra in buttermilk and then dredge in cornmeal-flour mixture to coat well.
• 6. Carefully add okra to the HOT oil and cook until golden brown. (It may be necessary to fry the okra in batches.)
• 7. Remove from oil, drain on paper towels, and then serve immediately with favorite dipping sauce.

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute the onion and garlic until limp. Add the green pepper; cook and stir until tender. Drain the tomatoes, reserving juice, and pour them into the skillet. Season with thyme, parsley, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes over medium heat.
• Add the frozen okra, and pour in enough of the reserved juice from the tomatoes to cover the bottom of the pan. Cover, and cook for 15 minutes, or until okra is tender.

CAJUN-STYLE CORN AND TOMATO WITH FRIED OKRA

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan cook the onion in the butter and 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until it is golden, add the corn, the tomato, the cream, and the water, and cook the mixture, covered, over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Season the corn mixture with salt and pepper and keep the mixture warm, covered.
• Cut the okra into 1/4-inch-thick slices, in a bowl toss it with the seasoned cornmeal, and shake it in a coarse sieve to know off the excess cornmeal. In a deep skillet heat 1/2 inch of the additional oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it fry the okra in batches for 1 to 2 minutes, or until it is golden, transferring it with a slotted spoon as it is fried to paper towels to drain. Serve the corn mixture topped with the fried okra.
