Let me introduce you to okra

How many of you eat okra and have it in your families vegetable rotation?  Okra is a vegetable that I throw into stews and turkey/chicken noodle soup.  It is delicious in all of these and this time I decided to branch out  and stirfry it with some aspargaus.  We had some AMAZING aspargaus in the fridge from my parents garden, HUGE difference in freshness than store bought but there wasn't a lot so I paired it with some okra and it was a great combination.

The okra was frozen when I added it to the pan and it took both vegetables the same amount of time to cook.  I used olive oil in the pan with some Mrs. Dash seasoning and cooked until veggies were tender.  One thing you should now about okra is that it produces a little slime as it cooks.  You will see what I mean once you try this recipe.

ENJOY!!
