Cooking Okra?

Breading okra is very simple. All you need to do is first wash it, by rinsing it in warm water. Once clean combine 1/2 cup of milk, one egg, salt and pepper in a bowl. Mix it together. Cut off the both ends of the okra. then slice the okra in average size circles, slices, (similar to the size you buy pre breaded) Place the okra in the bowl with milk mixture. In a separate bowl mix in flour, all purpose will do fine, and salt and pepper. take the okra out of the milk mixture and coat with flour. In a fryer add oil, heat to cook, add okra and cook as you do the frozen product. You can also boil okra, add a slice of bacon, whole okra and water to a pan and boil. Now this is not everyone's favorite, but I love it. They are also great on the grill You can either do them whole or sliced, whole will take a tad longer to grill. Coat them in butter or olive oil. Wrap in foil, place on the grill for 15 minutes on low. you can add other veggies to this, squash etc.

Hello snugglebunnies, here bamyess, or okra, is used as a vegetable dish served alongside other foods. When you've cut the ends of the okra leave them to stand for about an hour in a little vinegar then rinse. Then saute chopped onions and the okra together in olive oil, then add chopped tomatoes and seasoning, add a little water and cook over a low heat until the water has gone. There you have okra in olive oil. Good luck with your crop.

I grew okra last year and being lazy and wanting a vegetable for dinner, I cooked them whole in a skillet with a little oil to keep them from sticking, then salted them just a little when they were done. They cook pretty fast, so you have to keep turning them, but they were good like that. If you have freezer space, they're easy to freeze for later. Bring a pot of water to boil, drop in whole okra pods and bring back to a boil, boil for two to three minutes, then drain, cool and freeze. I freeze them on a cookie sheet, spread out so they don't freeze to each other. That way I can take out as many as I want at a time.

Sorry, I have never liked Okra! My sister loves it, though. She used to like it breaded and fried but since trying to be healthier she's experimented with frying it in pan spray with some good results. She likes to slice it and put it in a pan coated with butter-flavored cooking spray. She adds onions, rosemary and basil and, of course, mushrooms since she's an insatiable mushroom monster. It's a beautiful looking dish, low calorie, no fat and full of good stuff. She has frozen it and added it to casseroles, too, when she has a lot of leftovers.

You can also chop it up and add it into soups, gumbo and stews. Depending on how you and your family like the taste, you can also sinse the okra, peel off the outside layer and serve chilled with a variety of veggies and dipping sauces. I would recommend this for you and your family alone, unless your guests are used to the taste.

I don't know how many okra plants you planted but when they start to yeild you usually have to pick them everyday. I love breaded and fried okra but don't much care for it boiled or in soups. One thing you might want to remember when washing okra is to always wash it BEFORE cutting it. Otherwise all you are going to get is a bunch of snot! Also, when the growing season begins to end you can let one grow fairly large, let it dry out then use the seeds inside for replanting next year.
