I love okra, and I eat it pretty often. I like it fried, boiled, pickled, stewed with tomatoes, and especially in gumbo. What are some different gumbo recipes that you guys like?
I love it any way you can serve it. I often split it, season it with creole seasoning and either bake ( rainy days) or smoke it. Can add mushrooms, and/or squash etc. I have a vegetable an that I use in the smoker.
Not a gumbo recipe, but I didn’t see roasted okra on your list. Roasted is my favorite okra dish. Spread the okra out on a sheet pan, toss in extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle with Kosher Salt and coarse ground black pepper. Put the pan in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes. The flavor is awesome.

I like it breaded in corn meal and deep fried with some Texas Pete Pepper Sauce, on it! Gives it a little bite!

Picked some this morning and this is how I like it, since trying to stay away from fried foods. I coat in virgin olive oil like you, but like to use seasoned salt.

Fred, is it slimy that way:question:
No slime at all, similar to fried, but healthier and tastier.
Looks good! Gona give it a try:smiley:

LOL, those healthy style okra probably paired well with the pork belly or whatever caveman meat that is and buttery grits!!!
Dang that looks good! Got me drooling by 9:30 this morning…

No pork belly, just short ribs braised with vegetables in red wine. No butter in the grits, just the wine reduction sauce. But you are correct, not a calorie counters meal.

This is my favorite way to eat it also, i cook until they are almost burnt and hit em with salt and pepper.
Look at where Jesus went to pick people. He didn’t go to the colleges; he got guys off the fishing docks.

I finally did this tonight. Loved it, and I’ll do it again.
I’ve roasted it twice since Long Enuff, posted that! Have some Cat Fish in the frig and will roast some more with the fish! Good stuff!
Love it! Now if we just had some of North Chucky’s lobster head and grouper chowder…

I also love the “okrie” NC mountain slang. I put it in my “offshore stew” and “catfish stew”. My favorite is pickled, I have two 100’ rows that have been loading-up with all the rain (pick every three days)give a lot to neighbors, anyway I pickled the stuff by “cold canning” NO heat. My recipe is 1/2-apple cider VINGAR,SALT,BLACK PEPPER TO TASTE,4- TABLESPOONS OF SUGAR,2 TEASPOONS GARLIC, 1/2-DILL PICKLE JUICE AND TWO SPILT HOT PEPPERS (Jap. and Charleston reapers)per pint jar. Once jarred put straight into frig, keep for one month before using and must stay in frig. These are awesome! Always crisp even year later.
