I could eat okra anyway you cook it! This dish looks so good, right up my Alley! Xoxoxo

That looks delicious and my wife loves okra. We are due for a good gumbo dinner with a side of corn bread.. Take care and stay safe, Rob

Yum! I’m so ready for soup weather!🍁

I love okra, also. It is hard to get any in the house as raw is delicious. But, I only have about 12 stalks of okra and have put up 3 quarts for frying and given 2 quarts away. I tried a tall red type this year and it serves up long, tender, really nice pods very consistently. With this few stalks, I just pick every day and wash, cut, and freeze the pieces on a cookie sheet. Next morning, they go into a freezer bag until it is full. Some days 5 pods, some days 8 pods but it adds up quickly. I saved two pods of the tall red variety (which I could use a ladder now to pick more) and hope the seeds will produce more next summer. I've only ever eaten it raw and fried so really want to try your recipe. It looks good and I love the feeling of eating soup from my garden during the summer. Makes me feel so rich with all the nutrition I pack into it. Have you ever watched Hoss Tools YT? They recently had a vid that compared types of okra which helped me to plan next year - my garden is so small. Love watching you put yours in and how you use the harvest.

I now am ao hungry for gumbo. My garden okra didn't have as much okra as I was expecting either and just now is beginning to put out some but the weather is about to turn cold... ugh... We bought a lot of okra from a produce farm that we use to supplement our veggies. Need to pick my garden okra today and hope it gives me enough okra to make your gumbo... I could smell and taste it as you cooked it. HA yes even smelled the onions cooking... Oh boy! Love your channel Vicki and you are a sweetheart. BTW, I bought your new battery can opener since I have arthritis so bad in both hands. Can't open anything including my pill bottles. Thanks for showing me your battery can opener, I need one. Vickie, I watched your old video on making gumbo and wanted to tell you congrats on losing all that weight. I do watch your channel and had not noticed the weight loss until today.. You are looking great sweetie, BIG congrats!

I knew you were going to say okra! Your recipe reminds me of my Momma's chicken gumbo, which I loved. The okra was never slimy since she was careful not to boil it. There's fresh okra available here & since I'm doing Keto too, I gently sautee it with fresh garlic & onions & don't miss the cornmeal. Thanks for the awesome recipe! I'm very motivated to try it. The cauliflower rice sounds good. Definitely one of my very favorite comfort foods! Love your little can opener too.❣️❣️

That looks sooo delicious!

So yummy!! 😋😋😋😋

This looks really good 💚

I did enjoy this video - thanks 🙏

I love okra & since I'm Cajun I cook gumbo(chicken & sausage with roux...no okra) often & love it. I'm growing just a few okra plants since I got back down here in late May but I'm getting enough for just me. I had put a bit in freezer but hurricane Laura blew through here as a Cat 4 & we didn't have electricity for a week & I lost everything in my fridge & freezer. But was so thankful my house was still standing. My okra plants bent & swayed but they survived also. So I've been cutting every day or so again. I'm definitely gonna give this dish a try. It looks so good!! I think I have plenty okra...just have to get some chicken. Oh I may try using my canned chicken? I may even do a video on it, since I need to get my channel going again. I've been thru some difficult health issues. I also need to do the much longer process of cooking okra...smothered down & how I do okra gumbo.

Haven't had okra since childhood. My step father was from Mineral Wells Texas and he cooked black eyed peas and okra. I vaguely remember how it tasted, This looks so good I have to make it.

Your gumbo looks delicious! I love okra... and I love soupy things. I'm in Texas and this year I have had trouble finding it.

Looks just like the cambells soul one. I wanna try this

I got one of those can openers. I love it! I have had my thumb joint removed and cannot turn a regular can opener. Asking for help opening a can was a pain. This has been the answer!! Not cheap but worth every penny!!!

Im going to try this dish on my family thank you

Glad to see you putting the okra in raw. I’m making gumbo right now and was wondering about boiling it first. I hate the way it breaks apart when it’s boiled first. Nice video!!

I absolutely love everything okra any way you can fix it. Many years ago we made breaded okra for frying but we froze it. Something about dampening after cutting then we mixed cornmeal and flour then spread it in single layer and put I oven for a bit.. doing so stopped the ripening process. I can't remember all the details it's been many years. We did squash that way too.

That looks so good. I am sitting here wondering if I can find the ingredients in my kitchen. I think it all depends on whether I have frozen okra. If I do, I'll be trying this tonight. Home canned "ugly chicken", Smith's case lot tomatoes, Thrive Life freeze dried onions, my own homemade garlic powder, but is there any okra in the freezer? We shall see.........

Looks delicious. I love okra in sinigang (Filipino sour soup and my most favorite food). Pork and beef versions cook a long time but fish and seafood ones cook up quickly. I don't like chicken sinigang (the chicken doesn't take in the souring agent like all of the others; perhaps if I marinated it in the souring agent), but my sister-in-law says it's good as long as you have okra in it. I like okra prepared in all other ways as well. I use a manual opener that also leaves no sharp edges but my hands only hurt when I menstruate. I should hit menopause in a couple of years since that's when my mother's started. Most of my hobbies (journaling, reading, playing video games) require my hands so they get used a lot. The only thing I make consistently good is sinigang. Everything else is hit or miss. I think it's pretty much idiot proof as you add your favorite souring agent (I prefer a tamarind seasoning blend) and then cook everything to your desired tenderness level. It's also the only way to get Lee's and my son Daniel to eat most green vegetables. He still doesn't care for the radishes or turnips I put in it.

Is there anything I could use in place of the leeks?

Feel free to leave it out.

Hi, thanks. Have you ever heard of DMSO? I don`t know if it is available to you in the west, but it is fantastic for muscle and joint pain. I used to use it on my knees. It has been around for many years. Feed stores did carry it as horse liniment years ago. Today, it is sold as a solvent over the counter. It was sold in wide mouth jars because it hardens up into a jell at "room temp". I see on ebay that it now comes in liquid form.

Hi from Australia! Reading you mention took me way back to when i was young and my dad trained racing Greyhounds...he used DSMO often to patch up their injuries, aches n pains especially their wrists. It's great stuff and patched many an injury up between races. Didn't think it was for human use though? thanks for taking me back . Adele

When it gets too big it gets woody. I normally pick at 3 to 4 inches.

looks like Campbell"s chicken gumbo but way better

Thank goodness for playback speed control. Pick up the pace grandma.
