My MIL cuts it into disks and frys it in a flour/cornmeal batter. Pretty darn good.

Yummy. I think there's okra on the menu next week!

Keep the recipes coming, please.

I saute a few onions in canola oil or ghee, add a bunch of tumeric, S&P to taste, when the onions are soft and taste good I toss in a bunch of okra disks, add a little more ghee or oil, adjust seasonings and cook until the okra is the texture you like. (This works really well with cauliflower too - I serve it with some sort of Indian type of dish and rice)

Saveur also has an okra and tomato recipe in this month's magazine, I haven't tried it yet though.

I do this, except use red chile powder instead of pepper. And add potatoes to the pot before the okra, and let them cook as usual.

I also use frozen okra so they don't get slimy, but if I use fresh, I put a wee bit of lemon to cut down on the slime factor.

I saute onions, garlic and ginger in oil, then add sliced okra, a can of diced tomatoes and lots of curry paste. It's my own easy Indian food.
