Ingredients
- 8 okra
- 3 fish stock
- 2 clove garlic
- 2 onions
- 1 green pepper
- 1 pepper (red)
- 1/2 bacon
- 2 lb catfish
- 6 oz tomato paste
In a heavy bottomed soup pot, saute the bacon. As soon as it startes to brown add the onion and diced green & red pepper. Cook for about 5 min more. Add the diced tomatoes. Cook 5 min. more. Add the okra and the fish stock bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook till soup starts to thicken(tomato paste can be added at this point if desired). Add the cubed catfish and simmer till fish is done. Season w/salt & pepper. Pass the crushed red pepper flakes. NOTE: to spice up the soup add tabasco,grn.red pepper. Can also add crab, shrimp, oysters, chicken. Went out fishing the other day and caught a few catfish too small to keep but this recipe came to mind. Its real good when made spicy and served with COLD beer. 04/29 11:17 Weird AL A.Green14 on Genie
