Okra grows reasonably well in my area. I decided to see if it could be made palatable. This is my effort, which is more than acceptable. http://durgan.org/2016/March%202016/17%20March%202016%20Okra/HTML/ 17 March 2016 Okra Bought a package of okra ($4.99) and experimented with cooking. Cut off the stem end, cut into small pieces, steamed for about 12 minutes, sautéed with butter in frying pan and served. One method of preparation. Pictures depict the process.
