Rice and Okra Recipe

Here's a healthy recipe with a Cajun flair. You can substitute white rice for the brown if you prefer, but the brown rice has more nutrients.

Ingredients

* 1 cup brown rice
* 3 cups chicken stock
* 1 tomato, seeded and chopped
* 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
* 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
* 1/2 pound okra, cut into 1 inch pieces

Directions

1. In a large saucepan, combine the rice, stock, tomato and curry. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender, about 20-25 minutes. Add more stock, if needed, to keep rice from sticking.
2. In a small frypan over medium heat, melt the butter and fry the okra for 4-5 minutes.
3. Add the okra to the rice and cook another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season, to taste, with salt.

Serve hot.
