This dish is representative of my area of the country, and particularly the Texas-Louisiana border. The okra, corn and Creole seasonings are all popular here. Ingredients:
1 cup chopped green pepper |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
3 tablespoons vegetable oil |
2 cups fresh or frozen corn or 1 can (15-1/4 ounces) whole-kernel corn |
1-1/2 cups fresh sliced okra or 1 package (16 ounces) frozen okra |
3 medium tomatoes, peeled and chopped (1-1/2 cups) |
1 tablespoon tomato paste |
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme |
salt to taste |
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper |
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, saute green pepper and onion in oil until tender. Add corn and okra; cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato paste, thyme, salt, pepper and pepper sauce if desired. Cover and simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Yield: 4-6 servings.
