For a vegetarian option, omit the andouille sausage and add a can of drained and rinsed black beans or white beans for added protein and texture. If fresh corn is unavailable, you can substitute 2 cups of frozen corn kernels. Add them directly to the pot without thawing. To deepen the flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of tomato paste along with the crushed tomatoes. Serve hot as a main course or as a hearty side dish. Excellent with rice or crusty bread for soaking up the flavorful sauce.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat. (2 minutes)
02
StepAdd the celery and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
03
StepStir in the corn kernels and cook for an additional 3 minutes, allowing their sweetness to bloom.
04
StepAdd the crushed tomatoes, okra, andouille sausage, and Creole seasoning. Stir well to combine. (2 minutes)
05
StepBring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until the okra is tender and no longer slimy, at least 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
06
StepSeason with salt, black pepper, and additional Creole seasoning to taste. (1 minute)
07
StepRemove the lid and continue to cook for about 10 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced to your desired consistency. This will concentrate the flavors and create a richer sauce.

Sep 20, 2024The cooking time was a little longer for me, but it was worth the wait. The okra needs to be really tender.
