What to do with Okra

[BrianGSDTexoma]

Friend bringing me some Okra from his garden. Normally I just buy the frozen pre-breaded and pan fry. I cant stand slimy okra!

No answer for you Brian, but interested to see what the experts have to say.

I’d go for making a big batch of gumbo with okra. It’s soup/stew season!

Fried okra!

Fried is the only way I can stand it. Kills the slime.

I took from fresh okra sliced sprayed with some oil ,creole seasoning and a few other spices then air fried it was a crispy snack similar to potato chips quick and easy. Don’t get me wrong I like breaded and deep fried or pickled as much as the next guy

Can be pickled and water bath canned.
Use small okra. Large are chewy. Search for pickled okra recipes

Cook it down. There is a recipe in the Mosquito Supper Club cookbook called Smothered Okra where the author cooks down five pounds of okra, reducing it to about a pint. Four or five hours of a very low flame. She uses the reduced okra "sauce" as a base for gumbos and other things.
