Easy Okra Bowl Recipe Video
A simple to make Okra Bowl recipe.
As promised, here is a great dish to go with that Cinnamon Spiced Rice from a few days ago. Although this light Okra Bowl goes great with just about any grain (brown rice, couscous, barley, etc.) it definitely pairs well with the flavors in the Cinnamon Spiced Rice.

Love okra-just made a Gumbo last night using okra, onion, pepper, shrimp, andouille, chicken, and spices including some cayenne pepper and a couple of long Indian chiles off my potted up to over winter garden in the family room.
