If you like Okra...

And Corn, tomato, garlic, sausage, onion and bell pepper - then you're sure to love this recipe!

This is a delicious recipe that I found in the Southern Living July 2010 Magazine

The part that took the longest was shucking and cleaning the corn. I also substituted and used butterball turkey sausage - it's still got a lot of flavor without all the fat.

So here goes:

1 Butterball Turkey sausage diced (package comes with 2)

1/4 cup chopped sweet onion (i used vidalia)

1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper

2 garlic cloves minced (i used jar minced)

3 cups fresh corn kernels (6 ears of corn will yield 3 cups of corn)

1 cup fresh sliced okra

1 cup peeled, seeded and diced tomato

salt and pepper to taste

here's how i divided out the fresh ingredients:

1 saute sausage on medium-high or until slightly browned

2 add onion, bell pepper and garlic - saute 5 minutes or until tender

3 add okra, corn and tomato - continue to cook and stir often (for about 10 minutes)

4 season with salt and pepper and serve

i loved it served warm (ate it right outta the pan) - you can also serve it as a cold side if you like!

if available, be sure that you have extra help in the kitchen - it makes cooking most joyful!
