Cold rice works best in this recipe. If possible, make the rice a day ahead, and store it in the fridge. If you're in a hurry, follow Step 1 to cool it on a baking sheet.
I've been making this dish for years and it is one of our favorite weeknight meals. I make it with brown rice, smoked turkey sausage (usually), and I like to increase the amount of veggies. It is always delicious, is relatively quick, and healthy too.
Excellent dish. My whole family loved it.
We have enjoyed this dish too many times to count...I now use cold cooked brown rice, twice as much okra (because we love okra) and reduced-fat smoked sausage. Delish!
One of my favorite recipes. I've made this more times than I can count. Usually, I use frozen okra but fresh is nice, too. Much to my surprise, the dish reheated well even after freezing.
I love the flavors in this dish! I have made this numerous times and it is always a hit with all my guests.
