This is a delicious way to enjoy okra. A little sweet, a little spicy. Many who do not like okra like this pie.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 32 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 pound chopped okra
- ½ teaspoon ground paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 (4 ounce) packet saltine crackers
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- 1 (8.5 ounce) package cornbread mix (such as Jiffy®)
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 large egg
Directions
Step 1
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, okra, paprika, basil, salt, and pepper; cook down until thickened, about 30 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 3
Crush saltines to crumbs in a large bowl; add softened butter and mix to combine. Press into the bottom of a casserole dish.
Step 4
Mix cornbread mix, milk, and egg in another bowl until combined; batter will be slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Put stewed vegetables in the casserole dish on top of the cracker crust. Pour cornbread batter on top.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until cornbread topping is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
