This dish is representative of my area of the country, and particularly the Texas-Louisiana border. The okra, corn and Creole seasonings are all popular here. —Ruth Aubey, San Antonio, Texas


Test Kitchen tip
  • Dried thyme adds a lot of flavor but if you have fresh available, by all means, go ahead and use that. You'll want to use 3/4 teaspoon fresh in place of the 1/4 teaspoon dried. And while you're at it, go ahead and garnish with a few sprigs as well.
