Cook Time 00:00:10

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 lb okra
Salt and black pepper to taste
Vinegar to taste (or 1/4 cup for boiled okra)

Steps:

  • To steam okra: In a double boiler, heat water to boiling. Place the whole okra in the top of the double boiler. Cover and let steam for 10 minutes. Remove and serve. Sprinkle vinegar on the okra along with salt and black pepper to taste. Steaming okra prevents the slime that some people have an aversion to.

BOILED OKRA - BIGOVEN
"This is my absolute favorite vegetable. It reminds me of growing up on the farm. I can remember working for Daddy in the summertime. Before we would leave for the cotton fields, Mother would have us go to the garden and cut okra. Even at 6:30 in the morning it was 90 degrees and humid. And the okra plants would irritate your skin while you were cutting the pods. I would itch all day until I took a shower before supper. Then, the tender green okra pods were in a bowl, smothered in butter and black pepper, waiting for me to devour! "
