Comments on: Stewed Okra and Tomatoes http://cajunchefryan.rymocs.com/blog2/recipes/stewed-okra-tomatoes/ Feeling & sharing a world of cooking ~ more than your average Cajun Sun, 05 Feb 2012 22:07:36 +0000 hourly 1 By: Cooking over the last 10 days | strangers in a strange land http://cajunchefryan.rymocs.com/blog2/recipes/stewed-okra-tomatoes/comment-page-1/#comment-5961 Cooking over the last 10 days | strangers in a strange land Thu, 01 Sep 2011 03:15:39 +0000 http://cajunchefryan.rymocs.com/blog2/?p=743#comment-5961 [...] Stewed okra and tomatoes in the cast-iron skillet. Confession: I had never cooked okra before and therefore had to Google “how much of the end of okra do you cut off” because that didn’t look the same as the middle (moral: I left in some ends and they tasted the same). Reasoning: we had this last week at husband’s grandmother’s post-funeral Cajun earlydinner/latelunch and I had the audacity to try it myself in my own northwest Louisiana non-Cajun kitchen without mentoring. Recommendation: I think it needed less red wine vinegar. Faux pas: used dried herbs and didn’t adjust measurements accordingly. Husband, who dislikes okra, declared it “tolerable” and left nothing in the bowl. [...] [...] Stewed okra and tomatoes in the cast-iron skillet.

Unfortunately I'll have to use canned tomatoes and frozen okra. I'm sure it won't be as good as using fresh garden ripened tomatoes and okra but I think it will be pretty darned tasty anyway.

I love okra just about any way you cook. I do a very similar okra and tomatoes, which is on my blog, but my most favorite is fried okra. I could eat it like popcorn! Looks soooo good!
