Yields 2 servings

Takes only 25 mins from prep to serving

Ingredients

1/2 cup fresh okra trimmed & sliced

.25 lb container baby spinach cut in strips (about 2-3 loose packed cups)

1/2 small onion diced fine

2 cloves minced garlic

1/4 tsp dried thyme

1 cup Chicken Broth (if you want it thinner add a whole 14.5 oz can)

2/3 cup Coconut Milk (lite coconut milk is ok just a little thinner)

1 cup Crab Meat (I use Claw Meat, remember to pick out shells)

2 Slices thick cut/ slab bacon diced -or- 1tbs olive oil

1 tbs butter (I use unsalted)

5 chopped fresh chives

Crushed Pepper Sauce added to liking (optional)

Kosher Salt (seasoned to taste I use a pinch)

Directions

1. Brown Bacon in sauce pan with butter until there is enough fat rendered to coat the bottom of the pan takes a minute or 2. -or- coat bottom of pan with olive oil and butter.
2. Add fresh okra and saute about 2 mins. or until slime is dried up. (okra may brown slightly)
3. Add onions, chives, & spinach saute until onions become translucent, about 3 mins.
4. Add thyme with garlic and cook 1 min. more, careful not to burn the garlic
5. Add chicken broth, coconut milk &  crushed pepper sauce. Bring to boil, then simmer covered for 5 mins.
6. Add salt with the crab meat, stir and simmer covered for 5 mins.
7. I serve it warm alone, but you could try it topped over brown rice, wild rice, or riced cauliflower. If you have a low carb cornbread you enjoy it would be a yummy addition also.
