Inspired by fresh, local ingredients found at the Covington Farmer’s Market
Ingredients:
2 cups of chopped okra (Grow.Farm)
2 large creole tomatoes, diced (Slice of Heaven Farm)
1/2 medium onion, diced
a few toes of garlic, minced
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
fresh basil (Slice of Heaven) & lemon thyme
sea salt
Directions:
In a medium sized pot heat a 1/2 cup of water with a dash of salt. Add the onion, garlic, basil and thyme, cover and cook for a few minutes. Stir in the okra and tomato, let this cook for a minute. Tomatoes cut down the “slime” produced by cooking the okra, but fresh squeezed lemon juice helps too. Add this to your liking, along with any additional salt.
