You’re one of the RUclips cooking channels I appreciate most! You actually can cook! Old school, with no funny business! It also helps that you’re also a NOLA native! 💛
Just finding you! I am looking for recipes that don't fuck up my ulcers. You are the only genuine NOLA chef that I have come across that gives realist tips. Bless your heart Charlie
Hi Charlie, Im a New Orleans native as well and I just wanted to say I liked the tutorial. Another way to decrease the slim from the okra is to put a little oil in a pan add the okra and put it in the oven at 400 degrees for 30-35 mins or until you check and stir the okra to so little to no slim left then add the okra to your stock. doing it that way also alleviates having to continuously stir the okra and you get more orka chucks instead of paste. Great job on the tutorial peace and love.
+li Meyers Heyyy there my fellow New Orleans native! Haaaaa not a bad idea but I never tried the oven thing for okra! Plus i like a slight bit of the slime in mines! to be honest! lol Thanks so much for the suggestion as it will be a very long time before i ever make this dish again. Last time i made this dish before i made it for youtube was probably before katrina lol Thanks so much for commenting! :)
I'm a Lake Charles native in another country and I have been CRAVIING some okra my grandma makes it just like you with a few adjustments I'm glad I found this channel think I'm gonna make some!
Made this tonight and appreciate the recipe. I grew a lot of okra this year and had made gumbo last week so was looking for another okra dish and ran across this. I cook many things often and especially Cajun but realized I have eaten smothered before but never tried to cook smothered anything so this dish was nice to try. Definitely anyone want a good dish to cook up I suggest this one. Everyone loved it and even my brother and he is picky. My wife finished cooking it and she added some chicken bullion and something else though but I am just the prep cook. She did say we will make it again. (Meaning I will) Also seen another recipe or 2 of your I am going to try and will leave you comments on them when I do so. Many thanks for the vid and you make good ones. Very concise and easy to understand which is actually rare.
Hello there! I am happy to hear that the Smothered okra turned out good and that everyone enjoyed it. You're welcome not a problem. Thanks for the compliments and for leaving feedback!
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews Thanks for replying. Wanted to come back and say that the next day it was even better. Your advice to make it the day before and serve it the next day was right on the money. I even thought it was better but my brother and wife ate most of it up so I only got 2 more plates of it. My brother was selfish and ate 5 plates. They are saying they want this again so will probably make it one day and wait the next to serve it.
Also am now making your smothered potatoes with shrimp and sausage now as I write this so expect a review on that vid tonight/tomorrow. Hope I do it justice.
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews My babe bought me the ingredients to make this again so today am doing so. Usually if a new dish is added to our rotation of regualar meals it means every couple of months so she had to really enjoy it to do it this soon.
oh oh oh Mr Andrew's you gon make me change Betty wright song rt after I finish eating all this good food and then tear dat table up...and sang....yes blame Mr Charlie, Mr Charlie is just a man and he eeeeeeee cooking like nobody else caaannn....lol. Thank you so much for making me an even better new orleans native....love ya much.
Thanks so much for all the compliments Catina! Appreciate that! I'm glad that I was able to help you become a better New Orleans native! Thanks for all the love and support my fellow New Orleans native! :)
My mama is from Mississippi and she calls this okra stew or okra soup. Also made with seafood and sometimes tomatoes. This looks amazing. Thank you !!! Love your channel.
ohhh okay cool. I just call it smothered okra! lol Yes some people do add tomatoes to it! I do that also! You're welcome! Glad that you are enjoying my channel!
Excellent video ! ! ! Even I can follow it. I love this dish. I buy a plate lunch of this once a week at a local truck stop in Port Allen. With the prices of food today I can no do that. I will make my own. Thank You
I can’t wait to try this! I’m a New Orleans native and no one prepared okra like my grandmother. She died without passing down her recipe and I’ve tried and failed to replicate it. I’m hoping your recipe gets me close as it looks a lot like hers!
Awesome! Another New Orleans native like me! Oh wow I am sorry to hear about that. Hope this recipe comes as close as to how your grandmother made it. Thanks!
Charlie, I love your channel. It's authentic. Some videos are too "professional" and the they take all the soul out of the cooking. I wanna feel like I'm watching a family member cook. Keep up the great job. Much love!
That's awesome. Let me know how it turns out. I have an updated version of this recipe. You can watch it by clicking on the link below. Thanks! ruclips.net/video/cDYUPg1bHFg/видео.html
yes love me some smothered okra...louisiana girl here but live in Cali but i still cook like the southern girl i am... i add vinegar to mines too to cut the slime and i also add blue crab sometimes ...great job as usual.
Ohhh okay cool! I'm glad that you found me as well! Yes true I agree. Thanks so much for commenting my fellow New Orleans native! Great to hear from you!
+S Alexander I had to comment again Lol...yall this man is really the truth!! I love your food and you represent us here in the N.O. outstandingly!! New subbie
I love this dish because my grandmother would make it for me all the time when I was a kid. I’m from lake Charles but I now live in south korea. Thanks for you videos ... they remind me of home. Much love to you Charlie ☝🏾
Mr. Charlie - I know this is an old video, but I gotta tell ya - I made a "Mississippi pot roast" the other night and didn't have any pepperoncini. I used pickled okra instead, OMG IT WAS FABULOUS!!!
Thank god I found you!😩 I'm in Georgia missing my grandmas cooking back home in Louisiana and people look at me like I'm crazy when I ask for smothered okra or cabbage lol
I'm happy that you found me also! Oh yeah that's how those out of town people are. You start talking about gumbo and they will have a puzzled look on their face like Gumbo? What's that? lol
This looks like a delicious diabetic friendly (with a few adjustments) way to get my greens. Thanks so much for the share and to Li Meyers for the okra tip.
Thank you Charlie! I've looked for a recipe like this for years. My mother in law use to make it and taught me how to make it but over the years I had forgotten and she has passed away. The only thing she called it was Okra. So now I have a name. But your recipe is similar to hers only she used a roux. But I think you have taken me in the right direction. I'm gonna try your recipe next and I'll let you know how it came out.
You're welcome, not a problem. I've never heard of roux being used to make Smothered okra but then again there's a possibility it can be done with that method as well. Whenever you try the recipe, let me know how it turns out. Thanks!
I’m really enjoying your videos. In my family, we use less okra, and we include corn and stewed tomatoes. I learned to make it with smoked sausage from my grandmother’s sister, many years ago when I was a student at Xavier, but my daddy always made it with ham. They used to call it “Creole Succotash”. It is one of my favorites! Thank you for your wonderful tutorials. You’re a very clean, old school, New Orleans cook. Many blessings to you.
Hello Terri! Happy to hear that you enjoy my videos! Some people add corn, stewed tomatoes and smoked sausage. Creole Succotash? Never heard of CREOLE Succotash. You're welcome and Thanks for the compliments!
Charlie Andrews “Creole Succotash” Might be a way to distinguish it from regular succotash. Ah, I forgot to say we also add Lima beans. Maybe because it has corn and Limas. In any case, I love your videos! Your clean way if cooking is impressive, and you have a wonderful appearance and personality. You represent your city to the utmost. I will recommend your channel to my family and friends.
Oh okay cool. I'll have to read about succotash. Wow that's nice to add the lima beans in there. Thank you so much for the compliments and sharing my channel, I really appreciate it.
Yesssss Honey... thanks for teaching me how to make my favorite food in my new house for the holidays 😗😗😗 i so luv my city and all the great food that New Orleans has to offer
No thank you chef Charlie you where more then a great help everyone loved the smothered okra recipe that you did and mine's came out superb so thank you once again continue putting up the recipes from a great City and I'll continue to try a faithful and loyal fan now😗😗😗
I love you Charlie!!! I'm going to make this for dinner tonight! I think we're cousins..LOL Everything you make just brings me back to my Granny"s table. Thank again for sharing..
I love this dish!! I love your reaction when you get to eat your food---that's how you know it's good! Most of the cooking videos on RUclips don't show the cook eating their own dish!
+Andrea Griffin Ha ha ha ha Yes i enjoy it as well. It was long overdue for me to make this dish! Yes true. Most don't and most also don't respond to the comments by their subscribers. I like to connect with my people! Thank you so much for commenting!
Thank you for making all that not look so intimidating I thought that I would never get to make it like my mom made but now I'm so excited to try it and it looks even better than my mother's thank you
I made this last night following your recipe adding corn I love corn in mine but it came out great very minimal slime my husband and son who are picky ate it up thanks again I've been looking for a recipe and I found it
I've never used this process I will next time I do my smoother okra. I usually fry the slime out then add stock but looks like we come out with the same great tasting dish. Great job
Great job as usual, Charlie. My husband cooks okra the same way you do but he adds corn. We haven't had it in a while and you made me have a taste for it. Thank you for another great video.
Thank you! Yes I only add corn when I make the creole version! :) To be honest this is my first time cooking this in over 10 years is believe. it's been a long time for me. You're welcome! Stay tuned because Charlie is back ha ha ha ha lol Thanks so much for commenting! :)
Greetings Chef, made the okra and shrimp and the meatloaf, cooked in broth, now let's pray for Chef Charlie, keep it coming, I am so happy I have a LIVE cook book, I can cook anything including Chef's Praline candyOh my, heaven is in my kitchen, second lining..tu wey pop tuwe, 🍹 stay kind
Let me tell you, I made this recipe in the Ninja foodi in 30 minutes and it was GREAT! Threw the shrimp in after releasing pressure, closed the lid and let the shrimp cook in the residual heat for about 6 minutes.Thank you for the recipe. Yes, shrimp stock is a MUST! 😊
That is awesome. Happy to hear that the Smothered Okra was successful. You're right. The shrimp stock makes all the difference. Thanks for leaving feedback!
Good evening brotha I was passing by to tell u thanks for ur help and info, after the last convo I find me a nice pot set man, that's made with that Hard Anodized that u have, Its call the calphalon 14 piece classic cook set, bad ass cook set, now I can cook okra in all the pot lol...... man im so happy. I can't believe how good it feels, as a man, just to get some new pots. goodness!!! Brotha again thanks and from one New Orleans native to another may the lord bless u man.
Good Evening! Wow you found a pot set like mines. That's good! They'll last a lifetime too! Yes it is nice to have a good pot and pan set especially if you're a good cook. You're Welcome! I'm glad i was able to help out a fellow New Orleans native like myself and may god bless you as well! Enjoy your new pot and pan set! ~Charlie~
Omg this does look tasty! I'm from the New Orleans area (westbank) and I haven't had smothered okra in years. I need to make this soon. I'm a new subscriber after watching this video :D. Thanks so much Charlie. I live in TX now and there's no food spots around here who cook anything like us New Orleanians so your video is truly a life saver lol. I can bring New Orleans to TX in my own home now.
Thanks a lot for the compliments and for subscribing my fellow New Orleans native! Yes it is hard to find the ingredients and our food any where outside New Orleans, better yet Louisiana! Glad that I was able to help!
+TheDurhamBull Oh nooo not another one of these videos LOL I'm not surprised because he probably not from Louisiana! LOL I'll watch it later when I get off work! I can see it now. LOL
Charlie, grew up on this dish and loved it. The only ingredient we add that is different is a a large can of stewed tomatoes. Forgot about this dish thanks for the reminder. Will make next time it's my turn to have siblings and cousins over. Love, love, love your videos. By the way, made your shrimp creole for dinner today - family loved it. You are the best.
+Pat Giacaman Excellent! Oh okay cool. I know some people who add tomato to it.Thank you! Glad that you are enjoying my videos! Wow Thanks for the feedback about the shrimp creole. Happy that it came out good and that your family loved it! ☺
This recipe looks absolutely delicious and tempting recipe I am sure its taste is incredible Beautifully prepared and perfectly executed Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe, 💖 Love from Chicago
+Charlie “The Cook” Andrews I made this dish for my granny and it was a hit, I mean man I was surprised myself and I never ate okra in my life, but this dish was really good Thank you again
Excellent! Thanks so much for leaving feedback I really appreciate it. Wow how you ended up with too much stock? As long as it came out good that's all that matters.

Hey can you do the baking method with frozen okra??
lorne gant yes. I’ve tried It with frozen before. It’s takes most of the slime out of It. I like the oven option better.
@@lornegant7802 You read my mind =D

OMG! You are making me miss New Orleans. I can't wait to make this. I am now a new subscriber! Thank you for this channel!!!
I know the feeling! I appreciate the compliments. You're welcome, not a problem.
I made this last night following your recipe adding corn I love corn in mine but it came out great very minimal slime my husband and son who are picky ate it up thanks again I've been looking for a recipe and I found it
Awesomeeee! Glad that it came out good with less slime! Very niceeee! Thanks so much for leaving feedback!
I REALLY LEARNED ALOT ABOUT HOW TO COOK FROM YOU GREAT COOKER
Thank you Audrey!
I've never used this process I will next time I do my smoother okra. I usually fry the slime out then add stock but looks like we come out with the same great tasting dish. Great job
Awesome! Give it a try! You may like it better than frying the okra! Thanks so much for the compliments and let me know the results when you're done!
Great instructions real smooth I’m located in Asia but from Louisiana great job .
Thank you Alton for the compliments! Wow Asia! That is amazing to be that far watching my videos! :)
Great job as usual, Charlie. My husband cooks okra the same way you do but he adds corn. We haven't had it in a while and you made me have a taste for it. Thank you for another great video.
Thank you! Yes I only add corn when I make the creole version! :) To be honest this is my first time cooking this in over 10 years is believe. it's been a long time for me. You're welcome! Stay tuned because Charlie is back ha ha ha ha lol Thanks so much for commenting! :)

Let me tell you, I made this recipe in the Ninja foodi in 30 minutes and it was GREAT! Threw the shrimp in after releasing pressure, closed the lid and let the shrimp cook in the residual heat for about 6 minutes.Thank you for the recipe. Yes, shrimp stock is a MUST! 😊
That is awesome. Happy to hear that the Smothered Okra was successful. You're right. The shrimp stock makes all the difference. Thanks for leaving feedback!
Good evening brotha I was passing by to tell u thanks for ur help and info, after the last convo I find me a nice pot set man, that's made with that Hard Anodized that u have, Its call the calphalon 14 piece classic cook set, bad ass cook set, now I can cook okra in all the pot lol...... man im so happy. I can't believe how good it feels, as a man, just to get some new pots. goodness!!! Brotha again thanks and from one New Orleans native to another may the lord bless u man.
Good Evening! Wow you found a pot set like mines. That's good! They'll last a lifetime too! Yes it is nice to have a good pot and pan set especially if you're a good cook. You're Welcome! I'm glad i was able to help out a fellow New Orleans native like myself and may god bless you as well! Enjoy your new pot and pan set! ~Charlie~

Charlie: Smothered Okra Shrimp Smothered Sausage Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Daphne😍🎈🎈🎈👏💜
Thanks Daphne! Appreciate it!
Omg this does look tasty! I'm from the New Orleans area (westbank) and I haven't had smothered okra in years. I need to make this soon. I'm a new subscriber after watching this video :D. Thanks so much Charlie. I live in TX now and there's no food spots around here who cook anything like us New Orleanians so your video is truly a life saver lol. I can bring New Orleans to TX in my own home now.
Thanks a lot for the compliments and for subscribing my fellow New Orleans native! Yes it is hard to find the ingredients and our food any where outside New Orleans, better yet Louisiana! Glad that I was able to help!
Charlie Andrews,

Charlie, grew up on this dish and loved it. The only ingredient we add that is different is a a large can of stewed tomatoes. Forgot about this dish thanks for the reminder. Will make next time it's my turn to have siblings and cousins over. Love, love, love your videos. By the way, made your shrimp creole for dinner today - family loved it. You are the best.
+Pat Giacaman Excellent! Oh okay cool. I know some people who add tomato to it.Thank you! Glad that you are enjoying my videos! Wow Thanks for the feedback about the shrimp creole. Happy that it came out good and that your family loved it! ☺
