Matt's Bean Chili with Okra

While away from home, my husband learned how to cook. The one thing that he prides himself the most on is his chili with okra. I do have to say that even the mention of it makes my mouth water. There isn't a special ingredient or really anything unusual about the dish. It's just good.

  • While the beef is browning, coat okra in beaten eggs and toss in flour. Set aside.

  • Drain and discard grease from the beef. Stir black beans, kidney beans, tomatoes, corn, cinnamon, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, brown sugar, and salt into the pot. Bring to a boil; continue to boil for 30 minutes. Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for 2 hours.

  • While chili simmers, heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry okra in the hot oil until browned, about 5 minutes, working in batches as needed. Set fried pieces on paper towels to drain and let rest.

  • Serve chili in bowls with fried okra on top for a nice added crunch.

Editor's Note:

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
