Have you ever tried okra? The vegetable itself is quite exclusive and it enjoys being a part of delicious soups or strong stews. This is a special flavor that many people love, not only because it tastes different but also for its fun texture. Quick Fun Fact: Okayra is also super good for you?!? It is high in fiber that helps for digestion and provides low calories thus making it ideal to assist with healthy diet. Which is why you should always have some okras in your kitchen!
It also does take some getting used to finding fresh okra at the market sometimes. They may not be able to get it, and/or it might be ugly But don’t worry! A really terrific substitute is frozen chopped okra! Why frozen okra works great: Okra loses very little flavor and nearly none of the important nutrients after being placed in your freezer.
This version is done with frozen cut okra which makes it super simple in the preparation. Typically, this dish can be found in the frozen food section at your grocery store near other frozen vegetables. Frozen okra comes pre-chopped and clean so there is no extra hassle. Just thaw it out (ie put in fridge or on work top for a while, warm up only a little) and you can then cook with it as normally. This is ideal for families who are on the go and would like to have simple, quick ways of making healthy meals.
Frozen cut okra is amazing to have on hand for when you feel like having some. For those chilly days during the year that you want a big warm bowl of soup but don't have okra on hand, just pull some out of the freezer and drop them into your best recipe. It will also give great tast and nutrientsness to your dish. Or, if you want a crisp snack – take some okra slices and bake them in the oven to get a delicious crispy crunchy healthy treat.
The versatility of cut okra in frozen form is wonderful, as there are numerous ways to use it. This can be thinly sliced and added to stews, soups or gumbo for a tasty healthy meal that everyone will love. Want a change of pace, roast up okra with some olive oil and spices to make out-of-this-world crunchy Fangio side dish that complements most dishes.
Super Important Note about Frozen Cut Okra: speaking of not in season, one of the very best things ever is that when okra isn't growing (which for my part it has never done), you can still eat frozen cut okra. Okra is a summer vegetable and grows in warm weather. But also, you can freeze it and eat years round too. In that way, you will be able to taste fresh okra even in the guilty months or when there is no stock of it.
