I purchased some okra at a bodega on Saturday and need a good recipe. The only time I have had them is fried and that is out of the question so does anyone have a good healthy recipe using okra? |

We ONLY eat our okra fried usually but you can cut it up and add it to gumbo or veggie soup if you want. Sorry, not much help here.... |

I usually fry okra or eat my sister's okra/tomatoes/rice. Check out allrecipes.com website. I've used this site for several years and have picked up some fanstatic recipes there. |

Here is one my husband fixed over the weekend. It was pretty good. 2 pounds of frozen sliced okra (could be fresh) 2 cans of rotel tomatoes-drained half an onion-chopped half a chopped bell pepper salt and pepper to taste combine all and cover with bacon. bake @350 for about 1.5 hours or until okra is tender. bake uncovered. |

I have a very similiar recipe, using sausage, instead of bacon. I cook the okra and onion and all on the stove. Love it over rice. |

I don't really like okra but my husband does. Fairygarden, your recipe sounds like one he would like. This is a recipe I clipped from Southern Living magazine a few years ago for Okra Creole. 3 bacon slices 16 oz frozen okra (I'm sure fresh would be better) 1 can chopped tomatoes 1 cup frozen onion seasoning blend 1 cup frozen corn kernels 1/2 cup water 1 tsp creole seasoning 1/4 tsp pepper hot cooked rice Cook the bacon until crisp. Remove bacon and drain on paper towel. Cook okra and next 6 ingredients over medium heat for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Top with crumbled bacon and serve with rice. Enjoy! |

I think a bodega is just a neighborhood store. My Aunt makes it just with cut up fresh Okra and chopped onions cooked with a little oil tossing in a little cornmeal it cooks up in a cast iron skillet and is a little blackened also season with pepper and salt. |
