Ingredient info:
Okra, a small, bright green pod, is popular in the South. It's juices are especially useful in thickening and flavoring gumbo. Cooking whole okra quickly without extra liquid yields a crisp vegetable that doesn't thicken but adds texture to a recipe.

For this dish, look for small, firm, blemish-free okra pods. Never buy okra pods that are more than 4 inches long.

Serving suggestion:
Serving this dish over hot cooked rice is an updated quick version of classic gumbo.
