I made some significant changes to the recipe and my review is based on those changes. This is really a very quick dish especially if the rice is precooked. I used fresh garden okra, 1 can on black beans and 1 cup of cooked brown rice. I also added in some Cajun seasoning and with leftovers served it with Tabasco sauce. The recipe with my changes took less than 30 minutes to prepare and easily served 4 with a side salad.
