And here I sit, waiting for a chicken to finish cooking on the grill, wishing I'd picked some okra to go with it as a side dish. Tsk tsk tsk...but hey, there's tomorrow!....
I like fresh fried okra, too, CDsSis/Marilyn. I most often cook it more simply in a big black skillet with a bit of olive oil, sweet onion, a clove of garlic if I have it, and stir-fry it till it turns a dark green and/or gets tender. A dash of salt and pepper and you've done it justice. Yummy!
I wonder if anyone out your way even grows okra, or can you? One day I hope to make it to Colorado; if my van burnt okra instead of gas I'd be there by this weekend!
Happy Day to you and yours.
