Recipe Highlight: Embracing Okra with Southern Fried Okra
Submitted by paula on Wed, 07/17/2024 - 10:19pm
Fried, roasted, or boiled, there's no wrong way to enjoy this hot-weather crop. Okra can be divisive for its slimy texture. It contains mucilage, which is a naturally occurring substance that acts as a thickener for stews or gumbos, of course. While some are off-put by this, others find its unique texture perfect for roasting or frying. Quick roasting and dry heat can help minimize the sliminess. It also has a peach-like fuzz on the exterior and a mild, somewhat grassy taste. Okra is commonly used in soups, canning, frying, roasting, or boiling.
