Main Ingredients

  • 14.5 oz Diced tomatoes
  • 14 oz Sausage, sliced
  • 12 oz Frozen okra
  • 2 cups Water

Seasonings

  • 1 tbsp Minced garlic
  • 1/2 tbsp Salt
  • 1/2 tbsp Onion powder
  • 1/2 cup Yellow onion, chopped
  • 1/2 tbsp Garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients: In a large pot, combine the frozen okra, diced tomatoes, and water to create the flavorful base for the dish.
  2. Season mixture: Add garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, chopped yellow onion, and minced garlic to the pot to infuse the mixture with rich spices.
  3. Simmer okra: Cook the seasoned okra and tomato mixture over low to medium heat for 30 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and okra to soften.
  4. Prepare sausage: While the okra is cooking, slice the sausage and fry it in a pan until browned on each side, developing a savory crust.
  5. Drain sausage: Remove the browned sausage from the pan and blot any excess oil with a paper towel to reduce greasiness.
  6. Add sausage to pot: Incorporate the browned sausage into the cooked okra mixture for added flavor and protein.
  7. Simmer together: Let the combined sausage and okra simmer for an additional 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to fully integrate.
  8. Serve: Remove the pot from heat and serve the okra and sausage mixture hot over white rice for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Seasoned salt is listed in instructions but not in ingredients; assume 1/2 tbsp for balance with other seasonings.
  • Use smoked sausage or andouille for best flavor, but any sausage can be used.
  • Serve over white rice or your choice of grain to soak up the flavorful broth.
  • Can use fresh okra if available; adjust cooking time slightly for freshness.
  • For a spicier version, add cayenne pepper or hot sauce during seasoning.
