Smoky Okra Tomato Salad with Thyme and Roasted Pine Nuts
Servings: 4 Prep: 185 minutes — Cook: 16 minutes
 


Smoky Okra Tomato Salad Gingered Peach Crisp  


Bacon adds a slightly smoky flavor to this salad made with tomatoes and okra, a vegetable found in many southern gardens. If you cannot find toasted pine nuts, place raw pine nuts on a flat baking sheet coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick and toast at 350° until lightly browned (four to five minutes).

 
 

INGREDIENTS
8 slices bacon
1 pound fresh okra, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
3/4 chopped yellow onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups chopped ripe fresh tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme
1/4 cup roasted pine nuts
2 - 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
 

METHOD

Cook the bacon in a large skillet coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon, reserving 3 tablespoons drippings in the skillet. Crumble the bacon and set aside.

Add the flour to the reserved drippings and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to make a roux, about 8 minutes or until lightly brown in color.

Next, add the okra, onion and garlic, and cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in the tomato; season with the salt, pepper and thyme. Cover and simmer for an additional 8 minutes or until the okra is tender. Stir in the lemon juice, sprinkle with the crumbled bacon and pine nuts, and serve.
