I only trust an okra recipe that explained by a cook with a southern accent ❤😂

[@CamirrasKitchen]

😋

[@Massachusetts01]

My mother from North Carolina cooked this. She called it succotash. We ate it over rice. So delicious.

[@mrs.acreary5932]

Yes My mom too I'll be making it with yellow rice cornbread protabello fried vegan chicken absolutely no bacon. Thanks

[@nathanpyle3443]

[@3riccar10]

This is EXACTLY what i was looking for! Im a cook at a ma's hole in the wall cafe and was wanting to spice up a new side dish! we use all these ingredients already so this is perfect!

[@CamirrasKitchen]

Glad I could help! trust customers will love this dish!!

[@lindak.mcleod5858]

Thank you so much I didn't know that you can use fresh tomatoes

[@kellymolette8573]

I made your recipe last week and I need to tell you that I never made okra before. I made it for my husband because he absolutely loves it. Well to my surprise he ate the whole pot minus a bowl worth!!! I couldn't believe it!!! He loved it!!! Actually I am making another pot today a week later. I also made your neck bone recipe yesterday. He loved that also!!! Thanks so much sis!!

[@CamirrasKitchen]

Yes 🙌 always good when wifey has a meal time win 🥇

[@msoda8516]

My granny used to make this every summer and it was one of my favorite summer meals

[@TheLowCountryRebel]

My mom made okra soup this way back in the 60s and 70s. Okra soup with cornbread. Awesome fall and winter rib sticker. But excellent anytime, of course.

[@cindyduran4236]

I would love bowl of this and cornbread. Deliciously!

[@CamirrasKitchen]

My favorite way to have this is with cornbread too! I could eat this and cornbread as a small meal all by itself. Check out one of the cornbread recipes on my channel linked in the description box.

[@MuuuchBettah]

I just KNEW you had a recipe for this! Each craving I have I search for your recipe FIRST, then I can proceed with making it. Thanks again!

[@chanelcornist6757]

Thank you mines came out delicious it looks exactly like same .. you did very well explaining step by step👍🏾

[@Outbreax000]

I have to say, this is my first introduction to Okra and… holy smokes! This is so good!! I served to family and they practically licked the bowl! I’ll never be able to make okra any other way thanks to you! Hands down A+!!

[@larrytedmcbride]

My wife grew some okra this summer. After watching this, all I can say is there is about to be some nummm nummm 🤠👍

[@kimberlyjackson3660]

I made this for dinner. One of my old favs. I had some grilled corn on the cob, so I added it for the flavor. Man! It was good. Believe it or not garlic bread is also good with okra gumbo.

[@justjazz7409]

Was looking for a recipe for okra and tomatoes. I had everything already at home for this recipe except I used canned stewed tomatoes. I just tasted it and it's Delicious 😋 😍 I'll be making this again and serving it over rice. Thank you!!

[@yoswayoflife]

Will be cooking this recipe today! Thank you.

[@terrijones7903]

I tried your recipe with small alteration, no bacon or corn and substituted used chicken bouillon cube and water instead of chicken broth. It tasted 😋 delicious. My mother and I loved it with cornbread. The best okra gumbo i have made so far. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤❤

[@malakahbanathyasharahla2302]

I like to sometimes add cooked smoked beef sausage. I sautee the sausage a little with a Browning on the sausage. Never thought about adding cooked bacon. Will do this

[@kiwimax4659]

Wow. I'm with a community garden where we grow lots (hundreds of pounds) of the best tasting okra. I have to try your recipe, though I mostly eat young okra pods (

When cutting your corn, it's best to use a thin small knife and start from the end of the corn down to the tip. But this okra looks delicious

This looks soooo good. This vid has been popping up in my recommendations for abt a year now. I was reluctant because of the okra despite how delicious it appeared. Reluctance is over. I just have to try it. I'm definitely cooking this.

This looks so wonderful! I’ve never added corn to my okra and tomatoes but I’ll definitely be making this soon. God bless 🦋

Temu has a great little gadget to remove fresh corn off the cob. It works great, and it's not expensive 😊

[@naomib8282]

Exactly the recipe I hoped to find, thanks! I loved you little addendum about the Jiffy cornbread 'cuz that pantry staple is milled not many miles from our home. 🙂 I've loved the canned item that's sort of this combination of veges and I really like using it as-is or with smoked sausage as a main dish. I figured lots of folks must have their homemade version!

Mmmmmm.... Looks Awesome!

[@helenbradford2569]

Delicious and beautiful.

cut the cob in half and cut the kernels off that way. put the cut side on your cutting board and cut down. i hope that helps if no one has pointed out that technique to you. thank you for making this video. a friend gave me a mess of okra and i did not know what to do with it.

Great suggestion!

[@trujustice8628]

Get a V slicer or mandolin to deniblet a cob.

[@greentuesday9220]

I love ochro. I can eat it with almost anything

[@CamirrasKitchen]

its very tasty!

[@dalewarke7763]

Use a fork to separate the corn from the cob. Stick the points under the corn and push it down the cob. My grandmother could pry the kernels off quicker than you could hand a new piece of corn.

[@ewalker1057]

Agree fresh corn or don't bother. Cook beef shanks until tender first. I hold off adding tomatoes for a few minutes of cooking or so. Add them last so the don't cook apart so much.

[@Jacqueline-bq4xp]

I had forgotten about tomatoes okra and corn.

Put a cup upside down in a bowl. Place corn cob on cup and cut down. All the corn goes in the bowl.

AWESOME SISTREN… serving this with lobster, but adding sausage to this okra, just for the gumbo effect.

[@jaye31]

I hated okra because it was slimy, and my mom use to make this getting everything from the garden. We had no meat with it but cornbread. This was every year when I was small to teenager. She no longer had a garden, but I knew she would buy it the store. I was old enough to work and I ate out. I made it with the one okra on top sometimes in cheesecloth. My husband was a meat eater bless his heart so was my dad. I hated to see that garden started every year the though of that okra just turned my stomach. Mine was good for a quick change in the winter in California.
