Stewed Okra, Tomatoes & Corn image

Like onions and garlic, and peas and corn, okra and tomatoes are probably the two vegetables that are the most made to go together. Throw in some sweet corn, maybe a little pork or shrimp and you've got yourself a whole meal. Always found on Cajun and southern tables, cooked down smothered okra and tomatoes loaded with seasonings...

~ My Creole Stewed Okra, Corn & Tomatoes ~ image

Being my hubby's from the south, he loves his Okra and I actually acquired a taste for it, once I learned to grow and cook it. This was one of the first of many Okra recipes I've put together, sort of based on one he tried explaining, that his mother would make. He enjoyed mine so much, that he requests it all of the time,...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 Tbsp bacon drippings
1 - 16 oz bag of frozen okra slices, thawed or 2 cups fresh, sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic
1 - 15 oz can, chopped tomatoes & juice
1 - 11 oz can, whole kernel corn with jalapenos ( drained ), or use plain - frozen can be used as well _ or even fresh
1 tsp creole seasoning
fresh cracked black pepper - to taste
pinch sugar if tomatoes are bitter
1/2 Tbsp butter - optional

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium iron skillet, over medium heat, add bacon fat, once hot add okra and onion - continue cooking until okra begins to brown , stickiness diminishes and onions are soft. Add garlic and cook another minute. Stirring occasionally.
  • 2. Add corn, tomatoes, juice and seasonings. Continue cooking until well heated through and begins to thicken - 15 minutes. Right before serving I stir in some butter. Serve hot.
  • 3. So good!

Tips:

  • Choose tender okra: Look for okra pods that are small, firm, and have a deep green color. Avoid pods that are large, woody, or have brown spots.
  • Trim the okra properly: Cut off the stem end of the okra pods and then slice them into 1-inch pieces. Do not slice the okra too thinly, as this will make them slimy.
  • Soak the okra in vinegar: Soaking the okra in vinegar for 30 minutes before cooking will help to reduce its sliminess. This step is optional, but it is recommended if you are not a fan of okra's slimy texture.
  • Use a well-seasoned skillet: A well-seasoned skillet will help to prevent the okra from sticking. If you do not have a well-seasoned skillet, you can grease it with a little bit of oil before cooking.
  • Cook the okra over medium heat: Cooking the okra over medium heat will help to prevent it from burning. Stir the okra frequently while cooking to ensure that it cooks evenly.
