Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 7-1/2 ounces sliced fresh okra
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 red bell pepper diced
  • 1/2 green bell pepper diced
  • 2 ribs celery sliced
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun spice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1-1/2 pounds diced smoked ham
  • 2 ounces dry white wine
  • 1-1/2 cups uncooked long grain rice rinsed
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 14.5 ounce can petit diced tomatoes

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet and saute the okra, onion, bell peppers, celery and garlic. If you hate okra you might be able to sub chopped green beans or omit. Okra shouldn't be very slimy in this, in case you're wondering.
  • Add the bay leaves and spices along with the ham and cook until the ham browns.
  • Add the wine and deglaze the pan.
  • Spray an oblong casserole dish with nonstick or use butter to grease.
  • In a large mixing bowl add the skillet contents along with the uncooked rice, broth, and tomatoes with juice.
  • Stir well then add to the casserole dish.
  • Cover tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
  • Serve with hot sauce such as Tabasco or Texas Pete, your choice.
