Simple Delicious Okra Casserole image

3 ingredients come together quickly, then just pop it in the oven and relax or prepare the rest of your meal! Tomatoes take the"slippery" out of the okra. This came from my favorite OklahoMAN's mom. I think it's one of those tasty "Everybody Cooks It" recipes from the mid-west.

OKRA CASSEROLE



Okra Casserole image

I really love okra. We used to grow it at our old house when we did a lot of gardening. Now I have to buy it, but can usually find it at farmers' markets. This recipe is super simple, lends itself to individual variations, and even people who don't like okra will usually like it. The best part is that you can use just a little...

Categories     Side Casseroles

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 to 3 lb fresh okra, sliced about 1/4-inch thick
1 pkg stovetop stuffing mix, any flavor (we like the cornbread flavor best)
1/4 c (1/2 stick) butter or margarine
water as called for on stuffing mix package
salt and pepper to taste
2 eggs (optional)
2/3 c milk or light cream (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Heat butter and water together to a boil in a large saucepan. Stir in the stuffing mix, handling gently so it doesn't pack down. Let set 5 minutes, and fluff with a fork.
  • 2. Season the okra with salt and pepper. Toss the okra with the stuffing mix until all is well combined. Spoon the mixture into a 2-3 quart casserole dish.
  • 3. Now, you can bake this for 15-20 minutes in a 350° oven until okra is done and dressing is crunchy. Or, if you like a dish that you can cut into squares, do the following:
  • 4. After spooning mixture into casserole dish, beat together the eggs and milk. Pour evenly over the casserole, using a fork to help it penetrate the dressing and okra. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes until eggs are set. Allow to cool 5 minutes before slicing.
  • 5. Cheese lovers: feel free to top with shredded cheese during the last 10-15 minutes of baking. Some good options are Swiss, Cheddar, or Parmesan.

TURKISH CHICKEN AND OKRA CASSEROLE



Turkish Chicken and Okra Casserole image

In Turkey, okra is often stewed with lamb or chicken. I liked this dish so much that I made it twice in one week, the second time for a big dinner party. It's adapted from Ghillie Basan's recipe in "Classic Turkish Cooking."

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h30m

Yield Serves six

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound okra
Salt
1/2 cup red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small chicken, cut up into 8 pieces, skinned if desired
1 large or 2 smaller onions, cut in half lengthwise then thinly sliced across the grain
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper, mild chili powder or smoked paprika
4 garlic cloves, puréed with a pinch of salt
1 pound tomatoes, seeded and grated; or peeled, seeded and chopped
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon tomato paste diluted in 2/3 cup water
Juice of 1 lemon
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Plain thick yogurt for serving optional

Steps:

  • Trim the stems from the okra, and place them in a large bowl. Salt generously, douse with the vinegar, and let sit for 30 minutes to an hour while you prepare the other ingredients and begin cooking the dish. Toss from time to time.
  • Heat half the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large lidded skillet or casserole. Brown the chicken in batches. Set the chicken aside in a bowl. Drain off excess fat from the pot and discard. Turn the heat down to medium, and add the remaining olive oil and the onions. Cook, stirring, until they begin to soften, about three minutes. Add the coriander seeds and Aleppo pepper (or chili powder or paprika), and stir until the onions are tender, about two minutes. Add the garlic, and stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and sugar. Cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes have cooked down slightly, about 10 minutes. Stir in the dissolved tomato paste, and bring to a simmer. Add salt to taste.
  • Return the chicken pieces to the pot, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Drain the okra, and rinse thoroughly. Add to the pot with the chicken, arranging the okra on top of the chicken pieces. Add the lemon juice, cover the pan and simmer for another 20 to 25 minutes. The chicken should be cooked through, and the okra should be just tender.
  • If you wish, remove the chicken to a platter. Stir the okra into the sauce, and add the parsley. Add salt and pepper to taste, then spoon over the chicken and serve. Alternatively, stir everything together in the pot, season, and serve with rice or bulgur. Pass thick plain yogurt for topping.

  • Trim the okra: Cut off the stem and blossom ends of the okra. Then, slice the okra into 1-inch pieces.
  • Soak the okra in vinegar: This will help to reduce the okra's sliminess. Soak the okra in a mixture of equal parts vinegar and water for 30 minutes.

  • Make the casserole: In a large bowl, combine the okra, tomatoes, onion, celery, green bell pepper, and garlic. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Bake the casserole: Bake the casserole at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes, or until the okra is tender.
  • Serve the casserole: Serve the casserole hot with cornbread or rice.

Conclusion:

The okra is cooked until it is tender and slightly crispy, and the tomatoes, onion, celery, green bell pepper, and garlic add a delicious flavor. The casserole is also very versatile, and you can add other ingredients to it, such as chicken, sausage, or shrimp. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give okra casserole a try!
