OKRA SKILLET
I'm from the South so I could eat a whole tub of this! I put my favorite spices and turkey kielbasa in this twist on okra and tomatoes. Please try to use fire-roasted tomatoes, I think it really makes it taste good! They carry the Muir Glen brand of fire-roasted tomatoes at Whole Foods and Wal-Mart Supercenter. I really hope you like it!

LIMPIN' SUSAN (OKRA, SHRIMP, AND RICE)
In the Charleston tradition and talltales says that this old favorite of the lowcountry is the wife of Hoppin John and her version of his dish with the charleston flavor of shrimp kicked in. It is a one pot meal that we all can appreciate. I prefer a red or orange bell pepper to give additional color

CRISPY SKILLET OKRA (NO BREADING!!)
I was looking for a way to cook the okra I'm growing in my garden. I didn't want to deep fry it with breading and my sis-in-law said her granny used to cook it this way. It's excellent! I don't even miss the breading! Try it and let me know if you like it.

Steps:
- Turn your skillet on medium heat and get it nice and hot.
- While you're waiting for the skillet to heat up, wash and slice your okra into 1 inch long sections.
- When the skillet is hot, add cooking oil (I use canola since olive oil can become bitter at higher heat) and toss in the okra. It should sizzle! This helps seal the juices in the okra and gives it a crispy outside.
- Stir the okra around until it starts to brown, then drop in your sliced onion and season with soul food seasoning (I love Sylvia's). Continue cooking and stirring until the onion is transparent.
- Remove from heat and serve.
