Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender okra: Look for okra pods that are bright green in color and have no blemishes or bruises. Avoid okra pods that are too large or woody, as they will be tough and fibrous.
  • Trim the okra pods: Cut off the stem end and the blossom end of each okra pod. You can also score the okra pods lengthwise to help them cook more evenly.
  • Soak the okra pods in salt water: This will help to reduce the okra's sliminess. Soak the okra pods in a bowl of cold water with 1 tablespoon of salt for 30 minutes. Then, drain the okra pods and pat them dry.
  • Cook the okra over medium heat: High heat will make the okra tough and slimy. Cook the okra over medium heat until it is tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the corn and tomatoes: Once the okra is tender, add the corn and tomatoes to the pan. Cook until the corn is heated through and the tomatoes are softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Season the dish: Season the dish with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream.

Conclusion:

This okra, corn, and tomatoes recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. It is perfect for summer cookouts and potlucks. The okra is tender and slightly slimy, the corn is sweet and juicy, and the tomatoes are tangy and flavorful. The dish is also very versatile and can be served with a variety of main courses.
