"There’s a reason why theÂSouthern dish of stewed okra and tomatoes is timeless. It’s just plain good. First you start with browning some bacon, then you add the holy trinityâ??onions, bell pepper, and celery, then the tomatoes, okra and spices. Everything is cooked together until tender and almost falling apart. Okra is a summer vegetable so we are seeing it in the farmer’s market right now. But you can get frozen okra all year round which is perfectly fine stewed like this. If you don’t have access to okra at all, you can prepare green beans in a similarÂmanner (see recipe). Do you have a favorite summer okra dish? Please let us know about it in the comments. I loveÂokra and am always looking for ways to cook with it...."
