Okra

I'm from Mississippi where okra is standard fare. But even I shiver at the sight of slimy, boiled okra oozing its way out of a jar. So, I understand the hesitancy to try the odd vegetable. I like its clean flavor. It's unlike anything else. 

Here's my recommendation for trying okra without the sliminess: 

  1. Slice the okra in even pieces. 
  2. Heat a skillet to hot & add oil or ghee. 
  3. Add the okra & let sit until brown on one side. 
  4. Stir okra & add salt. 
  5. Keep sauteing until other side browns. 
  6. Salt & pepper to taste. 

Okra can be fried & stewed, but if you're new to the vegetable, a clean saute may be the best way to experience the flavor & texture. Okra must be cooked within two days of buying it. It will go bad quickly.
