Okra: how do you make it and like it?

[53' Stude]

I like it fried and raw personally. Had it a couple of ways while in North Carolina

 

[123Saab]

I'm totally cool with it, as long as I don't have to eat it.

 

[tom slick]

Fried or people pickled

I like it breaded and fried or a bit in soup.

 

[SZR48207]

Breaded+Fried+salted is always fine, and is very common to find in OK.

However, I also like it NOT breaded but fried, which makes it very crunchy and kills the ooze.

Some Indian friends of mine showed me a trick where you pick the small ones (more delicate, less woody) and microwave them for a minute. Then just dip it in your favorite sauce. Delicious.

Sliced, then dredged in a bowl of Franks or Texas Pete hot sauce, coated in corn meal, then fried. This is the only way I’ll eat Okra. Some Southern restaurants serve it this way as an appetizer.

 

[KJSmith]

Fried or in Gumbo.

 

[hatt]

Fried with corn meal, pickled, or added into fresh peas at the end are the best ways.

In the trash.

Fried with corn meal coating,not batter.

I've only ever had Okra at Cracker Barrel. They serve it as little fried, breaded nuggets. I like it.

 

[ZZman]

I don't. Oreo's anyone?
