Ingredients
3 slices bacon, chopped (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup chopped picnic ham (about 2 ounces)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
2 cups sliced fresh okra (about 6 ounces)
4 cups chicken stock
2 cups raw converted rice
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
- Fry the bacon and ham in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until brown and crisp, about 10 minutes. Stir in the onions and granulated garlic and sauté, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until the onions are tender. Add the okra and sauté for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the okra mixture and reserve.
- Add the stock to the pot and bring to a boil. Add the rice, salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Add the okra mixture, incorporate thoroughly and heat through. Fluff with a fork and serve.
