HUNGRY GERALD

Yes, that’s what BSK did–and the result was delish. Thrifty and creative BSK noticed okra maturing in the refrigerator. BSK believes in old time advice: “Waste not. Want not.”  Before the okra spoiled it was time to use it in a stew. And, on this rainy, grey day at HG/BSK’s Prince Edward Island oceanfront home, BSK made a heart warming stew that challenged the weather. The ingredients: Okra, of course, plus chicken thighs– cut into bite size shapes–garbanzo beans, garlic, cilantro, mint, parsley, tomatoes, peppers and a bit of tomato paste plus some chicken stock–and a splash of olive oil when serving. Heat loving HG added Sambal Oelek to HG’s portion. So good–and HG was happy BSK made enough of the stew for two dinners. Abbondanza!!
