Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender okra: Look for pods that are bright green and free of blemishes.
  • Trim the okra: Cut off the stem end and the blossom end of each okra pod.
  • Slice the okra: Cut the okra pods into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  • Cook the okra briefly: Overcooking will make the okra slimy. Cook it just until it is tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • Use a large skillet: This will help to prevent the vegetables from steaming instead of sautéing.
  • Season the vegetables well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder to taste.
  • Add some heat: If you like spicy food, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Okra, corn, and tomatoes are a classic combination that can be enjoyed in many different ways. This simple sauté is a great way to showcase these fresh summer vegetables. It is easy to make and can be served as a side dish or main course. With its colorful appearance and delicious flavor, this dish is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
