Revised to 5 stars. This is yummier the second day! I never though okra, sweet potatoes and cabbage would be so tasty. I found this recipe on Dottie's Weight Loos Zone (www.dwlz.com), and I was about to post it, but you beat me to it! My batch varied in that I used veggie broth to saute the onions instead of oil (my recipe actually called for white wine, which also would have been good) and I omitted the peanuts. This makes ALOT!
