How to make okra taste good

[Guest guest]

--Emmy,

 

The easiest way to make okra taste good is to saute it in some butter(or any

other oil of your choice). The frying gets rid of the sliminess. You can also

mix other veggies in as you saute: different squash, onions, mushrooms,

zucchini, mushrooms all come to mind. I guess you could also toss in some tofu

if the spirit so moves you! :0)

 

Fresh okra straight from a neighbor's garden was the first okra that I had

ever eaten that I actually thought tasted good. She was the one who suggested

sauteing in a skillet; before that, I had always boiled it.

 

It also helps to just use fresh or frozen as the canned stuff is what I

consider to be slimy. Whole okra - as opposed to sliced - also seems to make a

difference.

 

Hot pickled okra is tasty, too!

 

Tell us if you try these ideas and learn to like it! It's supposed to be good

for you.
