How To Make okra
-
1When you buy okra, look for ones that are a good green in color and about 3-4 inches long. The smaller ones are more tender. -
2Rinse okra and cut off caps. Slice slanted about 1/2" thick and set aside. Take your fresh corn and slice off the kernals from the cobb. Slice your onions and garlic.
-
3In a skillet, add olive oil and saute sliced onions and garlic until tender. Add the corn to the skillet and cook about 10 minutes.
-
4Add the okra to the skillet and saute until the okra is almost tender. At this point, slice your plum tomatoes in quarters and add to the skillet.
-
5Add salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and about 4 tablespoons of chicken stock (or water) and a drizzle of olive oil. Continue cooking and stirring for about 10 minutes.
-
6Note: You can just make the okra plain with onions and garlic if you prefer or with the addition of the corn and tomatoes.
