Okra Hash with Egg
Okra you know, that one vegetable that comes in like abundant in the summer, and I can hear it now...ewwwwww it is soooo slimy.
Well I am a fan of okra, always have been. I like it in succatash, gumbos, and love it fried. I love the ones at the restaraunt that have the breading. I have tried numerous times to make the them at home, from the frozen version but that was a nasty mess. I think they need lots of oil to get that to be like a restaraunt.
I have figured out a healthier, tasty way to get my okra and even get that little corn meal crunch that we all love.
I am making a hash with the okra in this recipe, but you can eat it plain, I sometimes even add a little more cornmeal and some real avocado oil and get a nice brownish crunch going.
But at the moment I am trying to keep with the WW blue plan and those oils can eat my points up. So between me and you I use them sparingly.
The Menu:
Okra Hash with Egg
The players:
10-15 okra (dice into little disks)
Pam spray
onion powder
garlic powder
salt
pepper
paprika
slap yo mama just a little spice
2 tablespoons of corn meal
2 eggs
The Game:
Take a nice little fry pan and generously spray with a non stick spray and put in diced okra (at this point if you have diced onion? pepper? garlic? - I myself had some roasted garlic I didn't want to waste)
Start to Sautee, add the spices, just a dash of them, and mix around, flatted everything down in the pan.
Take your non stick spray and give it a quick nice spray and then sprinkle your 2 tablespoons of corn meal on top. Stir up and continue to sautee, until getting crunchy and brown, and everyone is on the verge of done.
Make two wells in the hash and crack two eggs, cover and cook until you get your eggs how you like them.
Slide entire has out onto a plate or I have a nice flatish bowl I like.
I had this with a little ketchup (be sure to count your points for it) and two pieces of the great value whole wheat toast for 2 points
This meal for me was 0 points as the hash and eggs and 2 for the toast on WW blue.
It was so filling and yummy.
Okra is one those underrated vegetables. Lots of vitamins and fiber.
