B.J. DENNIS'S OKRA STIR-FRY WITH RICE

B.J. Dennis's Okra Stir-Fry With Rice image

Limpin' Susan is often called the wife of Hoppin' John, the pilau of peas and rice that Gullah cooks have made for generations in the South Carolina Sea Islands and Lowcountry, and that is also common in the Caribbean. Like Hoppin' John, the dish takes many forms depending on whose kitchen you grew up in. Some recipes start with fried bacon and end with washed long-grain rice, onions and okra steaming over simmering water for 45 minutes. Others call for simmering everything in chicken stock, or mixing chicken broth and cornstarch, then mixing the broth into cooked rice. B.J. Dennis, a Charleston chef, likes his Limpin' Susan more like a dry stir-fry, akin to what one might eat in Trinidad. The rice is cooked ahead of time, so liquid is fully absorbed and the grains remain distinct. This recipe is vegetarian, although Mr. Dennis likes to toss in a handful of chopped shrimp when the onions are softening.

Time 15m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/4 cup cooking oil (coconut oil works well, but any neutral oil will do), plus more if needed
2 cups sliced fresh okra (1/2 pound), about 1/2-inch thick
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 to 3 fresh hot peppers, such as bird's eye or habanero, added to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 cups cooked long-grain non-aromatic rice, such as Carolina Gold (about 3/4 cups uncooked; leftover rice is good)

Steps:

Pour oil into an 8-inch skillet, adding more, if needed, to make sure it coats the entire bottom of the pan. Heat over medium to medium-high heat and add the okra. Cook, stirring occasionally, until okra is slightly browned and tender, about 4 minutes. Cover to allow okra to steam for a bit, until tender, about 1 to 4 minutes more.
Add everything else but the rice and cook for 2 minutes more, stirring frequently. Increase heat to high and add rice, stirring gently but constantly for about 2 minutes. If you want the rice to brown. like fried rice, you can cook the mixture longer. Taste frequently, and add more seasoning and oil throughout the process as needed. Serve hot.

Time 32m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1/2 lb boneless chicken, cut into cubes
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into cubes
1/2 green bell pepper, cut into cubes
soy sauce, as needed
minced ginger, as needed
balsamic vinegar (a splash)
1 lb fresh okra pods
curry powder, to taste

Steps:

Marinate the chicken and peppers in the soy sauce, minced ginger, and balsamic vinegar.
Cut the heads and tails off the okra and cut into 1/4 inch rounds.
Dump them in a bowl and don't season them!
Stir-fry the chicken until about 2/3 done, pull chicken out and set aside.
Add oil, then the okra.
Stir like crazy.
Your goal is little green things that look like they are trying to be a nice golden brown.
If you cook the okra just right, it is great. Under or over-cook it, it is great.
Throw the chicken back in and stir.
Add the peppers.
Toss in about a teaspoon of curry powder for fun.
Serve over rice or with mashed potatoes.
