Hi Marie! Glad you took the idea and ran with it that’s what my site is all about. :)

I got okra from my CSA and have never had it before, so I was looking for recipes. Stumbled across this one and tried it. I admit I changed it a little – didn’t add the green chilis (thought I had them in the pantry but didn’t) as well as added corn and chicken, but this was REALLY bland. Only 1 tsp cumin and 1 tsp chili powder? Could probably go with 1 tbsp, at least of the chili powder. Also needed salt and pepper. Ended up adding some chipotle powder, too.

Note: I am not into spicy foods; just into seasoned foods…

As far as the okra – didn’t even tell it was there. Which is I guess good :-)

Fried okra is so good.

Roni, My husband made me this for lunch today and it was so good. He really enjoyed it too, which is funny because he was making some serious faces when he read that it had Okra in it. He did add Corn, Black Beans, and Chicken, he won’t do a meatless meal.

We used to eat Okra when I was a kid. Most of the time it was fried…which is really good…but not so healthy. This stew looks good. Our cafeteria here at work makes something like this. It seems pretty close to the recipe you posted. Just onions, okra and tomatoes with some spices.

Hmm, I tried okra once in something, but wasn’t a huge fan. This looks pretty tasty maybe i’ll have to give it another go with farmstand okra!!
