In a 1930's cook book a mention on how southern cooks kept the slime off of okra. I tried it and man-oh-man! Tis good!
Ingredients:
2 cups okra
salt and pepper
3/4 teaspoon lemon juice
Directions:
1. Place okra in a sause pan and cover with water, and add lemon juice.
2. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3. Bring to boil.
4. Simmer for 8-10 minutes.
5. No longer!
6. The taste is great!
7. Not mushy, but not crisp at all.
8. I used the frozen, cut okra.
9. The lemon juice adds a wonderful kick to the taste.
