Okra Etouffee

 

bullet

3 cups sliced fresh okra

bullet

¼ cup vegetable oil

bullet

1 (10 ounce) can Rotelle tomatoes with green chilies, undrained

bullet

1 medium onion, chopped

bullet

1 medium green bell pepper, chopped

bullet

¾ teaspoon salt

bullet

1/8 teaspoon pepper

bullet

¼ cup fine dry breadcrumbs

Place okra in lightly greased 1 ½ quart-baking dish; drizzle with oil. Top with tomatoes and green chilies, onion, and bell pepper; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover loosely with foil.

Bake at 400, stirring occasionally, for one hour. Sprinkle bread crumbs on top and bake uncovered 15 more minutes .

NOTE: First time I made this I used regular rotelle tomatoes and green chilies and it was very good. Next time I grabbed the HOT ones by mistake and we could hardly eat it! I also used only a small onion and a bit more than half of the green pepper. The recipe called for a topping of ¾ cup crushed potato chips mixed with ¼ cup bread crumbs, but I didn’t want the added grease.
