Around here we have a variation of that and we call it okra stew. Sometimes we add ground beef or turkey and then it’s a complete one dish meal.
My Ma Fann used to make this every year at our family reunion with okra straight from her garden. NOTHING BETTER! She made an amazing squash version too. Good stuff!!!!
Classic. I remember fondly my grandmother making this all the time during the summers. And it was great with catfish!
