    Delicioso! Delish! Buenisimo! Yum...Yum.... =)

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I have never cooked Okra, I would not know what to do with it. However, after running into this veggi during my last visit to... the Farmer's Market I decided to give a try. While looking for an Okra recipe I found this recipe. After reading all the reviews I decided that this was the one to try. Since I was out of fresh tomatoes and green bell peper, I used 1 can of organic tomatoes no salt and 1 poblano chile, the type used in Chiles Rellenos. In addition, I added 1 tps of sugar and 1 tps of curry for additional flavoring. It wad delish! I will keep this recipe in my recipe box and will continue to buy Okra from now on. Served with white rice and a nice salad...Yum....Yum.... =) Read more

    Amazing!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I cooked this meal with all organic ingredients and it was AMAZING! The bacon truly adds the flavor and I used fresh okra and... tomatoes and it took no longer than 30 minutes to cook the dish. I will definitely make this again!Read more

    Very simple and easy!

    I wanted to try some different flavours. The local version has no bacon and uses some ginger and saffron instead. This recipe... turned out great and was very tasty.Read more

    Absolutely enjoyed this recipe

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I made this for my husband becasue he is a good ol' southern boy and I'm a good ol' yankee. I never ate tomatoes and okra in... the 10 years I've been with my husband and curiosity got the better of me when I made this dish for him. I eat with my eyes first and becasue it looked so good I was tempted to try it. I used fresh tomatoes instead of the canned tomatoes to give it a much heartier tastes. The green peppers, onions and bacon all added to the flvor of this dish. I must say I truley enoyed it. I made it with fried Talapia is it was delicious. I will definitely be making this dish again.Read more

    Excellent!

    This is a great way to use an abundance of garden vegetables. Delicious and very easy. For Monica who didn't know what... chicken base is: it is used in the same way you would use chicken bouilion, but it is much more concentrated, and it can be found easily in most grocery stores where you would find prepared chicken broth and soups. It can be rather salty, though, so go easy on the salt if you use chicken base. Read more
