Stewed Corn and Tomatoes with Okra

This vibrant stewed corn and tomatoes with okra is a celebrate of late summer produce, bringing together the natural sweetness of fresh corn with the savoury richness of softened tomatoes. A classic vegetarian dish with its roots in Southern-style cooking, it offers a wonderful balance of textures, from the slight crunch of the green peppers to the tender, silky finish of the fresh okra. A hint of jalapeño provides a gentle warmth that elevates the fresh flavours without overpowering the delicate vegetables.

Perfect as a nourishing side dish or a light lunch, this versatile recipe is naturally gluten-free and packed with fibre. Serving it alongside crusty bread or fluffy long-grain rice allows you to soak up the delicious juices from the tomato base. It is an excellent way to use up a seasonal glut of vegetables, providing a comforting yet healthy option for any weeknight dinner.
