Okra & Tomatoes for Dinner

Tonight Jared cooked a little taste the country. Okra, Tomatoes, and Onions. It was delicious!
This is southern cooking at its best. Okra is one of my favorite veggies. It is always good no matter how you cook it. It is great simmered in gumbo, pickled and fried. This is sauteed together with garlic, and a little ginger. Okay so the ginger is not from the southern textbook but it adds great flavor.  Also we did make it a little more non-country by only using PAM to cook with and adding cilantro. I guess you could call this Southern Fusion. No matter what you call it I call it Yummy.

Jared also cooked a  poblano pepper stuffed with chicken slow cooked  for 4 hours, bell pepper, cilantro, chipotle peppers, hatch chilies, and cheese. We ate it so fast I forgot to take a picture. It will be something we cook again so I will be sure to get it.
