How to cook deliciously - Okra Pilaf

1. Stage

Fry the bacon: Spread the chopped bacon out in a pot so it covers the bottom completely and turn the heat to medium. Fry it until it's crispy, then remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and reserve. Drain off all but about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat.

2. Stage

Add the onion and bell pepper: Add the onion and green pepper and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes.

3. Stage

Add the okra, cayenne, salt, and rice: Add the okra and increase the heat to high. Add the cayenne, salt and rice and stir-fry for 1 minute.

4. Stage

Add the chicken stock, cover and cook: Stir in the chicken stock, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a low simmer and cook until the rice is done, about 20 minutes.

5. Stage

Fluff the rice and stir in bacon: Fluff up the rice with a fork and stir in the chopped bacon.
