The thing I liked abouth the recipe is that it is simple to follow. I didn't add all of the okra, but followed the rest of the recipe with slight exceptions. I added the water as per the recipe, but I also added chicken stock, about two cups. I also added a bit of other seafood (crab, squid, shrimp) and towards the end I added File powder that I purchase from a local grocery store. Over all a good recipe with slight adjustments it will be great.

The recipe serves up a very tasty bowl of beans! I grew up on these types of beans and this recipe rates up there in the "Like Mama used to make". It is easy to follow with simple steps. The servings are hearty and can serve as a meal all on its own. Anyone interested can mix the leftover beans with chorizo sausage on tortillas and make another great meal
