My mother would boil anything that was green.Swiss chard,beet tops,mustard greens,poke,spinach .Dad would raid the yard in early spring like he was Eulle Gibbons for dandelion greens .I hated all of it .
Lettuce belongs in salad which is part of a meal not the whole meal .Never on a cheese burger ,yuck .

Boiled. :o  Slime. I did not have to eat that stuff.  I guess that is why I am so fussy about peppers,yes,I will eat the green ones, ;D and onions. I do not like them cooked. I want them things to crunch when I eat them.
But when in the mood,I like tomatoes and even lettuce on a burger. I will even eat a salad,once in awhile. But better have lots of cheese handy and I like thousand Island on it. Eggs will help it all go down too,can't forget the bread that is stale on it too. Bacon too. There,bread,meat and cheese. ;D I have even put spinach on a salad,but cook it,and I won't touch it.

I'm a transplanted Yankee, but I love okra. Our favorite is cooked with Rotel (canned tomatoes with diced chilis for a little heat). The secret is the tomatoes- for some reason, they dissipate the slime. We've also been grilling okra whole, and they're very good, too. We're growing 'Jing Orange' okra, which are deep red, not orange. Very prolific; one of the few things that seem to like lousy soil and hot weather. A SC farmer's dream come true!
I hope my ship comes in before the dock rots!

Margaret Holmes canned okra/tomatoes(also available with added corn) is really good. My daughter loves it. Dump it in a bowl, and nuke for a couple minutes. Couldn't be easier.

Okra about anyway it's fixed is a staple in our house.  My 25 yo daughter was eating tiny ones right out of the garden yesterday.  Grilled, stewed, stuffed, pickled and especially fried in a cast iron frying pan.  My wife has canned and frozen several batches with the latest this very afternoon.  She adds a clove or two of garlic and a chilli pepper.  It is best after being canned a few weeks or more.

I had okra last night for dinner. Diced up several peppers, both sweet and hot, red onion, garlic, ripe tomatoes, celery, and okra. Sauteed the aromatics, then added the tomatoes, okra and a little water. Seasoned with this and that and a cube of beef bullion. Added crab meat and crawfish tails. I must have liked it. I ate 4 bowls.

How do you cut the Okra, or do you, to grill and eat like potato chips?

I enjoy fried Okra, I don't recall having it pickled.  Yep good in soup and with tomatoes!

xlogger

mostly grill it on grill. we had so much this year I finally got tired of it and quit cutting it. same thing with asparagus earlier in the season.
