    I absolutely hated okra and tomatoes as a little girl, but my southern aunt was visiting and wanted some. So I tried to remember how my mother made it and this recipe seems to be it with the exception of chicken base. After making it, I had to admit that I actually liked it. I guess my palate has changed. I did add about 1 Tbsp of sugar because I remember my mother always added a bit of sugar to dishes with tomatoes to cut the tartness. I also used Creole seasoning instead of seasoned salt because I like a little kick to my food. Other than that, I didn't change anything and it was very good. Best of all my visiting aunt really enjoyed it.

    I had a large supply of all the veggies from my garden and was looking to use them, so this recipe was perfect! Took me a while for the prep work, but that's just because I'm slow! Anyway, followed the recipe as is, steamed some white rice, and added some Tony's Chachere's for some spice! Very, very good! I will make again!! THANKS PAULA!

    We had so much garden grown okra and tomatoes I did not know what to do with. I saw this recipe and thought too simple. Well this simple recipe is one of the Paula Deen dishes I have ever made! The flavor, in Paulas words is "to die for". Simply the BEST. Thanks Paula.I plan on canning this.

    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.... =

    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!

    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.

    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.
