The Modern Mom

We harvested okra today from our mini garden! I was so excited to see that they've grown so big over the past few weeks! While they are still fresh, I decided to hit two birds with one stone and empty out leftover vegetables from the crisper. This recipe can be adjusted based on what you have in your refrigerator. :) I chopped 1 small white onion, 4 cloves of garlic, 1 tomato and some leftover meatballs we had for dinner yesterday. I also diced 1 whole green bell pepper and included this leftover sweet corn kernels we used for pizza. I cut the okra into approximately 2-3" pcs. Procedures: 1. Sauté onions and garlic until translucent. 2. Add the bell peppers and stir. 3. After about a minute, add the meatballs. I added freshly ground pepper at this point. 4. Add the okra. Stir well to make sure there are no areas burning. 5. Add 1/4 cup water and cover. 6. Once the water has evaporated, check if the okra is cooked. If not, add another 2 tbsp. of water and cover. 7.
