Frequently asked

Can I skip the okra?+

Yes — add another handful of corn; the okra adds body, not identity.

Frozen corn instead of fresh?+

Works perfectly — no need to thaw, just add it straight to the skillet.

What do I serve it with?+

Grilled anything, rice, or a fried egg on top for a very honest lunch.
