OKRA, Love it or Leave it? Where do you come down on this divisive vegetable? There doesn’t seem to be room for ambivalence here. People seem to love it or hate it. I was not a fan until I tried this recipe which sears the okra in a screaming hot pan. Even those who are not fans of okra may change their minds with this one which combines smokey okra, charred onion and garlic, along with sweet wilted tomato and a sprinkling of fresh herbs and lemon zest. You just may be pleasantly surprised!
OKRA, Love it or Leave it? Where do you come down on this divisive vegetable? There doesn’t seem to be room for ambivalence here. People seem to love it or hate it. Okra happens to be my husband’s absolute favorite vegetable, and unfortunately for him, it has always been my least favorite, so I have avoided it as much as possible, until now. I have always found okra to be gluey and sticky so when I ran across a recipe which chars the okra in a ‘screaming hot pan’ to cook off the mucilage that makes okra slimy slippery, I was hoping for a winner. Well I was not disappointed. Thank you Keith at Mad Delicious for the excellent recipe! You have made me an okra believer!
