I saw on here a while back about adding okra to Beaufort Stew,okra is one thing the heat hasn’t killed in my garden and my nephew is coming with his family tommorow to fish Sat. I’m cooking the stew tommorow. Has anyone tried it and if you have about how long does the okra need need to stay in? Thanks

Anybody ever try frying the okra whole? Could you get it crunchy on the outside a
and slimy on the inside?

Now, that’s a pro tip and if you add it to Texas caviar you go from a 6 to a 9

Once stew is finished and before you pour out the liquid take some cans of green beans, peel the lables and wash the cans. Poke holes in both ends of the cans, drain the juice and drop them in the stew liquid. They get hot quick and are delicious. Actually you could drop whole okra in the liquid after removing the stew. It will cook quick and stew will not be slimy.

I have been cooking new Orleane style Gumbo for years. The problem most people have with gumbo is that it is slimy. I learned a long time ago to deslime it befor adding it to any dish. Just add a little salt and black pepper and follow the instructions below. It is great in any stew or soup. It is very good just like dat as a snak food. Try the directions below and add to your stew at the last 5 min. you will love it.
Thanks and happy cooking.

Flash-Frying Okra
1
Wash and dry the okra thoroughly so that there is no moisture on the outside.

2
Heat 1/4 cup of oil in a skillet on high heat.

3
Slice the okra into even circles and add to the hot oil.

4
Stir constantly with a spatula so that the okra doesn’t brown in the pan.

5
Continue stirring for about 20 minutes, until the okra pieces no longer stick to the spatula or each other. Use the de-slimed okra slices as you wish, or you can simply eat them as is.

Good luck
