This is my very favorite rice recipe. I've served it many times and it's always received rave reviews. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do. Ingredients:
4 bacon strips, cut into 1/2-inch pieces |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1/2 cup chopped green pepper |
1 cup sliced fresh or frozen okra, thawed |
2 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped |
1/2 teaspoon salt, optional |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
3 cups cooked rice |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook the bacon until crisp; remove with a slotted spoon to paper towel to drain. Saute onion and green pepper in drippings for 6-8 minutes or until tender.
2. Stir in the okra, tomatoes, salt if desired and pepper; cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add rice; cook for 10-15 minutes or until okra is tender and liquid is absorbed. Crumble bacon; stir into rice mixture. Yield: 8 servings.
