Okra and Oats - Robert (2x18)

Air date: Jul 03, 2017

In this episode, Chef Robert Jewell explores recipes using two very different ingredients that start with the letter "O," oats and okra. For his first dish, Robert uses okra in a classic cornmeal cake recipe, but bumps up the flavour factor with spicy jalapenos. Robert balances the heat of the jalapeno with a tart green tomato and crunchy red onion salsa. In his next recipe, Robert keeps the heat, but switches up his recipes for a curry-spiced oat pancake. This Indian inspired dish needs something to cool it down and Robert knows exactly what that is - sweet, silky applesauce. He's up for the challenge when it comes to combining okra and oats into one dish, and the results are tasty.
