Okra with bacon

Quick dish
I seem to be positing lots of easy, quick dishes, especially for working moms. :-) I hope this is helpful...

I have posted about health benefits of steaming veggies that you may have read. 

Okra is one of my favourite veggies.  Wash and clean the okra, trim off the upper stem and cut into 2 or 3, cross-wise, about 4 - 5cm. Steam for 7-10 mins till fork tender but still firm.

While the okra is steaming, heat the pan and brown 2 slices of bacon till crisp.

Dish up bacon, cool a little and break them into smaller pieces or using a scissors, cut small.

When okra is ready, remove them onto a serving plate, and sprinkle with crisp bacon.

I love steamed okra, the natural sweetness of okra without salt. Try it.

Ok-ok…it doesn’t sound that healthy with bacon added :-D
