Never knew it was in the hibiscus family so thanks for that piece of trivia. I'm sure the smoked tomatoes in this recipe were a happy accident. Anything smoked is a great compliment to okra. In fact, I just picked up from WFM that jarred product called "Smokra" and it was scrumptuous! By the way, okra is delicious raw, sliced and in salads, and it's not a bit slimy that way!

My aunt used to cook up deep fried okra. We'd dip it in ketchup, delisch! My aunt fried everything, squash, sweet potatos, now that's something that's tasty, sweet potato french fries.
