Ingredients

  • 1 lb okra
  • 4 strips of bacon chopped
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Prepare the okra by washing well and slice off the tops. Continue to slice the okra into about 4-5 slices per piece of okra and set aside.
  •  Using a large skillet, saute the bacon on medium heat for 4-5 minutes or until the bacon is crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan along with about 2 tbsp of bacon fat, reserving the rest of the fat in a glass container.
  • Add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
  • Add the chopped okra to the pan and season with salt, pepper, and turmeric. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring often and add more fat if needed. Cook until lightly crispy.
  • Add the apple cider vinegar to the pan along with the bacon to lightly reheat. Stir for a minute and remove from the heat.
  • Serve warm.
