Instructions
- Spread the chopped bacon out in a pot so it covers the bottom completely and turn the heat to medium. Fry it until it's crispy, then remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and reserve. Drain off all but about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat.
- Add the onion and green pepper and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the okra and increase the heat to high. Add the cayenne, salt and rice and stir-fry for 1 minute.
- Stir in the chicken stock, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a low simmer and cook until the rice is done, about 20 minutes.
- Fluff up the rice with a fork and stir in the chopped bacon.
