Kentucky Style Okra Corn And Tomato Stew Recipes

KENTUCKY-STYLE OKRA, CORN AND TOMATO STEW

Steps:

• Cut the kernals from the cob and transfer to a medium bowl. Scrape the cobs with the back of a knife to collect the milk in the same bowl and set aside.
• Toss the okra with the cornmeal in a large bowl until evenly coated. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the okra to the skillet(leaving the excess cornmeal behind) and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Stir in the corn, tomatoes, water, and 1/2 t salt, bring to a simmer, then cook over medium-low heat until the tomatoes break down, most of the liquid has evaporated, and and the sauce becomes very thick, 45 to 55 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper to taste.

CHICKEN STEW WITH OKRA AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Sprinkle chicken thighs with 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, the paprika, granulated garlic, granulated onion, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and 1 teaspoon olive oil. Massage chicken with all the seasonings then let sit until room temperature, about 20 minutes.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium until hot, about 5 minutes. Place the chicken thighs into the hot oil and cover. Cook until brown on one side, about 5 minutes, then flip the chicken, cover and cook until brown on the other side, another 5 minutes. (Covering the chicken helps keep it juicy.) Remove the thighs and set aside, leaving the fat and juices in the pan.
• Increase the heat to high and add the okra, the holy trinity (onion, bell pepper and celery), salt and remaining 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to the pan. Sauté, stirring frequently, until starting to look translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the tomato paste, cayenne, cumin and remaining 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning; stir to combine.
• Add the chopped tomatoes and chicken broth to the pan, stirring and scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan as the mixture cooks. Add chicken, bay leaf and chopped parsley.
• Stir the stew and bring to a boil. Then, reduce heat to a simmer, stirring constantly, to let the okra thicken the stew. Cover the pot, vented on one side, and let the stew simmer for 35 minutes, occasionally stirring, until chicken is tender enough that you can break off a piece with your spoon.
• Remove chicken from pot, let it cool slightly, then cut it into thick shreds, discarding bones; add the shredded chicken back to the pot and stir. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed; discard bay leaf. Add scallions, if you like, and serve hot, by itself or with rice.

• Mix water and cornstarch together in a small bowl and stir into the sauce rapidly until thickened, about 3 minutes.
