“(Dwarf) Cajun Jewel” is a lovely dwarf okra, which has grown happily in a pickle bucket on my patio. This variety really expands the geographical area of who can grow tasty okra, as a pickle bucket is highly mobile for protecting from early and/or late frosts. I cannot find a history of this variety, other than various versions of the same statement that it is a Louisiana heirloom since the 1950s.
The Itawamba Historical Society recommends Cajun Jewel as an excellent choice for pan frying. Here is the posted recipe:
“My favorite method of cooking okra is pan frying. To me, the frozen and heavily battered deep-fried okra usually served in restaurants in no way resembles the home fried okra I have always enjoyed. The best way to prepare pan fried okra is to select small tender pods. After slicing the okra into a bowl, a simple generous dusting with corn meal and an ample supply of black pepper is all that is needed. After tossing the mixture, and adding a little salt, the okra is then pan-fried over medium heat until the batter is a golden brown. The result is a tender fried vegetable with a light crispy crunch.” http://itawambahistory.blogspot.com/2008/09/country-fried-okra-summer-table-staple.html
