Description

Ingredients

• 4 slices of bacon (about 5 ounces), chopped
• 1 cup chopped yellow onion
• 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
• 2 cups okra, sliced into disks, 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick (fresh or frozen, thawed)
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne (or to taste)
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt (use less salt if using seasoned broth)
• 1 cup long-grain rice
• 1 3/4 cup chicken stock*

Directions

• 1 Fry the bacon: Spread the chopped bacon out in a pot so it covers the bottom completely and turn the heat to medium. Fry it until its crispy, then remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and reserve. Drain off all but about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat. 2 Add onion, bell pepper: Add the onion and green pepper and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. 3 Add okra, cayenne, salt, and rice: Add the okra and increase the heat to high. Add the cayenne, salt and rice and stir-fry for 1 minute. 4 Add chicken broth, cover and cook: Stir in the chicken broth, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a low simmer and cook until the rice is done, about 20 minutes. 5 Fluff rice, stir in bacon: Fluff up the rice with a fork and stir in the chopped bacon.
