Ingredients:

  • 3 cups very cold water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 to 2 cups fresh sliced okra
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons bacon drippings
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced okra
  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels or frozen thawed corn kernels
  • 2 large ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Preparation:

Combine water and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add sliced okra and let soak for about 30 minutes. In a large heavy skillet, heat bacon drippings over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until tender. Add okra and continue cooking for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add remaining ingredients and cook for 10 to 15 minutes longer. If necessary, add water to keep vegetables from sticking. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes longer.
4 to 6 servings.
