Super Easy Southern Okra Succotash

"This is one time that frozen vegetables work better than fresh. You can play with different spices if you like, it's very forgiving. A finely diced Jalapeno is good for a little bite. Butter works well to replace the bacon drippings, or you can live longer (if not better) and skip the fat all together! Add Sausage and serve over rice for a great main dish! Update! I’ve made this often substituting fresh okra, but I just made it for the first time with fresh corn right off the cob. I added the corn raw a little before the okra and just heated it through. It was fantastic! Crisp and sweet!"

  2. This was very good. It's a great dish to add on my new vegetarian journey. I forgot to add the jalapeno, but will try a bit of that next time. Thanks for sharing!

  4. Everybody loved this dish! I doubled the recipe to serve 6 and it worked out fine. I also switched about 8 leaves of chopped fresh basil for the dried and added it at the very end with the okra. Thanks for the new addition to my recipe box!

As a Yankee transplanted to the Old South, my tastes have been slowly educated to the finer and hotter things in life. With 40 years in the Fire-Rescue service, I have had some incredable "on duty" meals, on both ends of the scale! In self defence, even as Chief, I often do the cooking. One thing can be taken as gospel, no matter how much complaining, there are never any leftovers.
