What Can I Make With Frozen Okra
Now that I live in the South, my favorite meal to make for my family is Seafood Gumbo, utilizing the plentiful seafood we are fortunate to have available to us. My problem is this; I like to use okra as the thickener in my Gumbo, but I never add more than a couple handfuls of frozen okra to a big pot of Gumbo. That leaves me with a lot of frozen okra left every time I make my Seafood Gumbo. At that rate, I never use up the frozen okra fast enough and I usually end up throwing most of the leftover bag away after it gets lost in my freezer for several months.
If I had something to make with frozen okra that would be delicious, and a little different than just adding it to Gumbo, I could use up my okra and quit wasting it! I’ve eaten fried okra and have enjoyed that, but I don’t know how to go from frozen to fried without getting mushy results. Also, kid-friendly recipes with okra would be especially nice. I know that’s a tall order, but Southerners have learned how to cook with some pretty unique food items, so there must be interesting okra recipes that you’re keeping secret. Let’s see what you’ve got!

Since it is getting colder, I always like making a big post of vegetable soup. I add in peas, greens, carrots, corn, tomatoes, and okra. Soup is one of the easiest and most delicious things you can make!

I would really like a good recipe for fried okra, too. I’ve eaten it at restaurants, but don’t know how to make it. Help!

I heard about Gumbo through a friend and according to him is very delicious. I may have to copy the recipe and try it by myself.
