Stews and soups can really pack the vegetables in, which allows you to eat more and feel fuller, and the food you're eating is better for you. Okra was brought to the United States by Ethiopian slaves. The vegetable is found year-round in the South and is an indigenous part of Southern cuisine. Look for bright green pods that are no longer than four inches, as the longer pods tend to be tough and fibrous. This one-dish meal is great on its own, or serve it over rice to extend it a little further. |
