Okra Corn Fry Up

If you’re new to okra and a little curious, think about this...fresh okra has the best flavor but If you can’t find it fresh at your local  grocer’s, try it frozen - who knew it was available that way.  It’s  great in tomato based dishes such as jambalaya or gumbo.  Try this fry up and see what you think.  Pssst…it’s part of a healthy eating plan.

olive oil

1 onion, chopped

1 green pepper, seeded, sliced thin

1 t. garlic powder

1 - 12 oz. bag corn, frozen, defrosted in colander, hot water run over it

1 - 12 oz. bag okra, frozen, defrosted in colander, hot water run over it

2 c. cherry tomatoes, halved

dash salt/pepper/Smokey Spanish paprika   to taste

In a large fry pan, saute onion and green pepper until  just tender.  Add garlic powder, corn, okra, tomatoes, and dash  salt/pepper/paprika.  Heat through and serve.  Just as easy as that.

When I’m not venturing forth with new diabetic friendly ingredients, I’m sewing sugar skulls half aprons for my online shop - www.amazon.com/handmade/topdrawerthreads and www.etsy.com/shop/topdrawerthreads .  

Or, I’m pairing colors and textures of recycled yarns to crochet into granny square scarves for my online shop -  www.etsy.com/shop/topdraweryarns .
