My husband and I worked on this recipe together. We make a big pot and freeze it to enjoy all winter long. We sometimes stir in sauteed shrimp for a delicious addition to this stew. —Lisa Nelson, Bluffton, South Carolina

Ingredients

1 pound smoked sausage, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 large onions, chopped
1 large green pepper, chopped
8 green onions, sliced
1 cup minced fresh parsley
1/4 cup olive oil
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup white wine
1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 package (16 ounces) frozen sliced okra
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Louisiana-style hot sauce
Hot cooked rice

Directions

In a Dutch oven, saute the first five ingredients in oil until the vegetables are tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add wine, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan.
Stir in the tomatoes, okra, tomato sauce, soy sauce and hot sauce; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 4-5 minutes or until okra is tender. Serve with rice.
Freeze option: Freeze cooled stew in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Microwave, covered, on high in a microwave-safe dish until heated through, gently stirring and adding a little broth or water if necessary. Serve with rice.

This was petty good but really I like a little more flavor. I used a jalapeno smoke sausage and added more hot sauce. This recipe does make alot! So this would be a great freezer meal.
