Stewed Okra with Tomatoes and Bacon
This Creole favorite makes the most of summer produce. Stewing okra with tomatoes produces a saucy side that highlights okra's unique flavor and texture. The dish is tasty as is or ladled over white rice.
How to Make It
Step 1
Cook bacon slices in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan, reserving 2 teaspoons drippings in pan. Crumble bacon.
Step 2
Add 1 cup onion, green bell pepper, and garlic to drippings in pan, and sauté for 5 minutes or until tender. Add okra, chopped tomato, 1/2 cup water, hot sauce, vinegar, salt, thyme, and black pepper; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes or until okra is tender. Sprinkle with bacon.
