Falling in Love with Okra and Corn! image

If you don't already love okra, you will after you try this! I like my okra with a slight crunch, and that's exactly what this recipe delivers. The half-and-half adds a nice creaminess ... makes the dish nice and rich.

Categories     Vegetables

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3-4 stalk(s) fresh sweet corn - stripped from the ear (white ears are better for sauteing)
1-1 1/2 lb fresh okra - washed and cut into 1 inch slices
1 large sweet onion - chopped
1 clove garlic - minced
1/4 c half and half
1/2 stick butter, melted - or less if desired

Steps:

  • 1. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray. Melt half a stick of butter in the pan.
  • 2. Place the corn, okra and onions into the pan and saute until they just barely start to turn tender.
  • 3. At this point, add the garlic and continue to saute until the vegetables become a little tender.
  • 4. Then add the half and half. Turn down the heat a small amount so the half and half will not scorch. Let this cook down a little and reduce by about one half. The vegetables should be fully tender by this point (but not mushy).
  • 5. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • 6. NOTE: You can vary the portion size easily just by the amount of corn, okra and onions - go by sight and have equal portions of each. Still pour out 1/4 c of half and half but eyeball it and slowly add little by little until you get the suitable amount (not too dry and not too runny). You may also add additional vegetables such as grape tomatoes cut in half, but don't over do it, adding too many will over power the dish with too many flavors going on. You don't want more than 5 different flavors at the most.

I'm allergic to okra, so I substituted zucchini in this recipe. It turned out great! The zucchini was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was delicious.

This is a great recipe for a summer cookout. The okra and corn are cooked on the grill, which gives them a delicious smoky flavor.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my okra and corn turned out mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and the okra and corn are always cooked perfectly. I also like that you can adjust the spiciness of the dish by adding more or less cayenne pepper.
