boiled okra

[35 Whelen]

Fried okra - Delicious
Stewed okra with tomatoes - Fair, not my favorite
Raw okra - Never tried it, probably won't
Boiled okra - Feed it to the hogs

I like the baby pods steamed.Fry the bigger ones.
I also like some cut okra in my hushpuppy batter.

As much as I love fried okra a d okra in a veggie soup, man I can't stand it boiled.

Although it's been probably 35 or 40 years since I've been force feed it (and chitlins so I guess I could possibly like them now. No reason to find out though

 

[Hoss]

Not boiled. Pickled or fried yes. I have put it in Brunswick stew before.

When boiling you have to avoid over cooking. Boil until a folk goes in fairly easily and it's done. Too big a pods and over cooking creates that slime. But still it's good for folks with no teeth...slides right down. (and Yes, I still have all my teeth..my dentist can vouch for me)

I like it boiled whole with some vinegar or pepper sauce and salt.

Fried is good too if you catch it right out of the fryer while it's still crispy.

Okra is good in stews and gumbo because the "slime" thickens the stock. Same with skin- on squash and zucchini.

We eat a bunch around my place. Pan fried in bacon grease is probably our favorite. We also eat it breaded and deep fried, pickled and stewed down with tomatoes. I vacuum sealed 15 quart sized bags today for the freezer. Also got a pot going with some and some tomatoes. That will be served over rice as part of supper tonight. Love it in gumbo and vegetable soup, just not a fan of the boiled preparation.

Snot in a pot!

That's an okra lover's centerfold picture.

Can't stand slimy boiled okra, but I can eat half a dishpan full of it fried.

This right here. ^ Save the other half of that dish pan for me. I'm on the way!

Tossed in an olive oil and herb drizzle and grilled is awesome. Split the big ones lengthwise.
