Stuffed Okra Poppers Recipe

Recipe By Southern Living

Move over jalapeo, theres a new party popper in town. Okras mild, grassy flavor works beautifully in place of the usual jalapeo pepper in these bacon-wrapped party bites. (okra also makes a smart substitute for folks who dont like too much heat. ) the filling, made with sharp cheddar, cream cheese, cayenne pepper, and garlic, is a little reminiscent of pimento cheese. (you can even substitute your favorite store-bought pimiento cheese to save time. ) for this recipe, youll want slightly longer okra pods than youd typically seek out. You definitely do not want woody, overgrown, tough podsso avoid any that look pale or that feel dried out. If they are fresh and vibrantly green, they should still be tender even at 4 to 5 inches in length. Regular, not thick-cut, bacon is also best here because it will wrap easily around the pods. Because the poppers are cooked quickly on a grill, they maintain a pleasantly crisp texture and pick up a little smoky char from the grill. Serve these stuffed okra poppers as a memorable bite at your next get-together or game day.
