• 1/2 cup finely diced sweet peppers (@Emadi_Acres_Farm)

• 2 Tbl finely diced jalapeño (@HotSpellFarm)

• Cilantro, finely chopped  (@HotSpellFarm)

Other Ingredients:

• 3 Tbl high heat oil (canola, avocado) 

• 2 tsp cajun seasoning blend

• 2 Tbl lime juice

• Salt & pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Heat a large shallow pan to high heat with 2 Tbl olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the cut okra in a single layer. Sprinkle over with seasoning mix, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle over another 1/2 Tbl oil.

2. Let cook, stirring frequently for 10 minutes, or until the okra is lightly browned in places. Adjust seasoning to taste. Transfer to a layer of paper towels to absorb any excess oil, if needed, and serve hot.

3. Toss together with remaining ingredients and serve with chips, crackers, or scoop up as a salad!
