Okra may be eaten raw or cooked, and it's a common ingredient in Creole cuisine.
Difficulty Level: Easy Time Required: 1 minute
Here's How:
- Look for brightly colored pods.
- Pods should be no more than 4 inches long.
- Avoid dull, bruised, soft, or blemished pods.
- If okra is too ripe, it will have a very sticky texture.
- Okra goes well with tomatoes, onions, peppers, corn, and eggplants.
- The viscous liquid cut okra gives off will thicken any liquid it's cooked in, making it a wonderful addition to stews and gumbos.
