Limpin’ Susan
Rumor has it that Limpin’ Susan was Hoppin’ John’s secret girlfriend. Whereas Hoppin’ John is a rich and filling blend of rice and field peas, Limpin’ Susan, rice and okra, is a little more delicate and fresh. I like to make this when the market is full of small, green, tender okra pods. It’s a simple dish that becomes memorable when cooked with care and drizzled with a touch of okra seed oil.You can find more delicious recipes in Sean Brock's cookbook, South: Essential Recipes and New Explorations.
