Okra with Tomatoes

Okra with Tomatoes

Sounds like a good alternative from fried okra. I made this on 16 July 2018 and is perfect as written, with my wife doing the final taste test. She simply added a pinch of chicken stock powder, then it was perfect, and I wrote that step in as well. This is a keeper.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 10 pods fresh okra, stem trimmed, sliced in half lengthwise

  • splash mushroom sauce
  • pinch chicken stock powder

Instructions
 

  • Garlic and okra prepped, I took the photo early before I had the onion prepped.
  • Heat the oil in a large non stick pan, when hot, add the garlic and stir fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the okra and onion and season with salt and pepper as desired. Cook stirring often until the okra is tender and bright green, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes, oyster sauce, and mushroom sauce and cook until tender and nearly bursting, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in a pinch of chicken stock powder, taste, and adjust with oyster or mushroom sauce as needed.
  • Serve as a side dish with any meal.

    I made this on 16 July 2018, perfect use of okra and is a great alternative to fried okra with cornmeal. My wife added the chicken stock powder and I have written that into the recipe as well. On my Go-To list now as this is a keeper.
