OKra!

by michelle on Aug 1, 2007 (Wed)

I recently purchased the ‘The Joy of Cooking‘ (affiliate link). I tried a few recipes, but my current favorite is ‘Sauteed Okra with Roasted Red Peppers’. Okra and bell peppers make such a sweet and colorful combo. It’s summer so, I think its a good idea to take advantage of the bountiful veggies.

  • 1 1/2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 lb small fresh okra, trimmed and cut into 1/2 in. thick slices
  • 1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced (about 2 tbsp.)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium red bell peppers, roasted, peeled, seeded and cut into 1/4 in. strips
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 tbsp. minced fresh cilantro or parsley
  1. Heat a large, heavy skillet (preferably seasoned cast iron) over medium heat until hot. Add olive oil. Once oil is hot, add the onions.
  2. Stir until tender but still crisp and translucent (about 4 mins.). Add the okra on top as a single layer and cook until it is bright green and crisp tender (about 3 - 5 mins.)
  3. Stir in the garlic, bell pepper and salt. Cook until the okra is tender (about 2 mins. more).
  4. Serve immediately, garnished with cilantro or parsley.

Vegetables used in this recipe, like okra and peppers are great sources of vitamins and minerals and are specially preferred by people attempting weight loss. Eating a diet of mostly vegetables is still one of the slow and sure ways to lose weight. While certain drugs like adipex are taken for short duration to loose the body weight fast (cheap adipex), some others, like abs diet, are reputable for reliable and effective results.

    Hi Mansi,

    Thanks for visiting. Hope you check back from time to time. I visited your blog and found some really nice stuff about food. Although I’d rather not comment on your Rachel Ray post. I don’t like her that much, although michelle likes her.
