Quick, tasty and healthy meal -- and it helped use up some of our bumper crop of okra. =) I did miss the complexity and richness of flavor that comes when you start with a roux, so I will do that when I make it next time. I also added tabasco and some red pepper flakes. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
