we just learned a new (for us) method of cooking okra. Most people cut it up in little circles and fry or put it in soups. My wife now splits it long wise coats in corn meal and fries it in the frydaddy. Best we have ever had.

Love okra, or "okry" as we called it. It's good any way you prepare it; fried, boiled (whole pods), or pickled. It's also good in soups especially in gumbo...it helps thicken it.
Get some zucchini and sliced onion and slice it and sauté lightly, put in a shallow pan. Slice okra and pepperoni and mix in to pan. Put shredded mozzarella cheese on it and slide in to a hot oven. 425 or so cook till cheese browns, serve with French bread a good Italian beer or dry red wine...good stuff :wink:

okra makes beef-veggy soup into a real treat. southern style deep skillet baked cornbread with it of course.
I've parboiled whole pods a bit to soften than flattened and dredges in a breading mix. I call them 'fried fish'. been awhile since I hosted a nephews young'uns but you should have seen them gobble them down.

"... a good Italian beer"???
Peroni or moretilli, I like beer and like German or British most. I do not care for Belgium or French. Italian beers taste a lot like some Mexican beers.
I like dry red wines but would rather have a beer with Italian/American inspired foods. The pepperoni and zucchini in the above goes real good with the beer flavor of Italian beers.
