OKRA SEASON RECIPES

CLASSIC OKRA AND TOMATOES RECIPE | SOUTHERN LIVING

Classic Okra and Tomatoes Recipe | Southern Living image

Okra and tomatoes are a centuries-old pairing. It's a remarkable union of late-summer flavors that comes from using peak-season produce: vibrant fresh-picked okra and plump ripe tomatoes still firm enough to hold their shape when simmered. To minimize okra's infamous textural issues, take care not to cut the stem end so closely that the pod is severed.

This version, adapted from the chef JJ Johnson, uses celebratory seafood, such as scallops, crab, lobster and shrimp, and includes okra rounds in a nod to his family’s southern roots.

WHAT IS OKRA AND HOW IS IT USED? - THE SPRUCE EATS

Jul 29, 2021 · Fresh okra should feel firm but not hard. Look for bright green pods with unblemished skin. A little browning on the stem shouldn't be a concern, though the greener it is, the fresher the okra. It's not a highly popular fruit, and not all grocers stock it fresh. The best chances of finding it would be May through September when it's in season.
