Bacon Sauteed Okra Recipe

Okra is a traditional southern favorite with excellent health benefits. If cooked improperly, it can be not super tasty, but when cooked properly, it brings a unique delicate, nutty flavor with some spice hints. This recipe gives the vegetable a quick saute in bacon grease, and then combines the vegetable with other cajun flavors to make a delicious side dish to serve with any cajun or creole dish like jambalaya, blackened catfish, or po'boy sandwiches.
