I’ve never been a huge okra fan for some reason. But it was time to change all that.
I bought a small amount for myself, 8 pieces. As usual, my phone-in chef helped me find a simple recipe. (Yay, girlfriends!)
I had a couple of green onions and a clove of garlic. Slice slice slice. Olive oil in a non-stick pan. Saute those 2 ingredients on medium heat while I sliced the okra. After a couple of minutes, I dropped the okra into the pan and added more oil. I spiced it with salt, garam masala and a little cayenne powder. I let all of it cook for a couple of minutes, then stirred everything, adding more oil as the okra soaked it up. I let it cook for about 10 minutes, until the okra was no longer slimy.
I overcooked it a little — when I took it out of the pan, the onion and garlic were burnt some. Oops. I had a few slices of fresh rosemary bread with it. (Rice would probably have been better, but I was lazy.)
To recap: 2 onions, 1 clove of garlic, 8 pieces of okra, salt, a pinch of cayenne pepper and a generous amount of garam masala. Made a small meal for 1, a small side for 2.
Prognosis?
Delicious. In fact, I bought about twice the amount of okra this week so I could make it again. A simple meal that took less than 15 minutes to prepare and 2/3 of that was stirring the fry. A highly recommended experience.
