I have 12kg of frozen sliced okra....

[warrior queen]

...that was given to me, and I need recipes to use it all!
I've looked online, but most of the recipes I've found use whole, fresh okra.
So.... here I am, begging for recipes

I am sorry someone gave you frozen okra. Slimey and nasty. My favorite recipe is to throw it away. Yuck.

I grow okra in my garden. I coat the pieces with batter and fry them. I hate okra but love batter-fried okra. Batter-fried okra is popular at black restaurants.

Okra, btw, is a hibiscus with a yellow/purple blossom.

That recipe asks for fresh okra.
Mine has been frozen.

I don't mind okra.
So far, I've been using it as a thickener for slow-cooked meals.
What else can I do with it?

Doesn't matter. Batter the frozen pieces and fry.

Trust me, I hate okra, and batter fried okra is pretty tasty.

Okra brings back memories of my childhood, hoeing it and being forced to eat it.


:shudder:

I was the same till I got my arm twisted and sampled a piece of batter-fried okra. Its crunchy not slimy.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

It's crunchy and still tastes nasty...




... I'll stick to Jalepeños.

At least someone figured out how to get rid of 12kg of that crap.

I actually like okra!
It makes a great sauce-thickifier for slow-cooked recipes.

I just was looking for maybe a different way of using the frozen stuff

What jbj said. Thaw it and fry it. Frozen okra works fine. Little salt on top and you got good eats

When I thaw it, it goea kinda 'mushy'.
Not sure how that'll fry, given it seems full of water....

NO! DONT THAW IT!

Fry on low heat first, then raise the heat to make it crunchy.

love okra, you folks must be from the city or something. Pickled okra...awesome. Fried okra....great. Make a stew and add the okra proportionately as a substitute for the potatoes, or just add okra. Oh, and wash and clean the okra by cutting the stem off. slicing them in chunks is good for the stew. Pulled pork and okra! Shrimp and okra. by the way your ass is delectable. okra added to stir fry. stuffed relleno okra poppers. come on, the damn vegetable is fuzzy with hair! How can a vegetable with hair be bad?

um, uum, uuuum! jambalaya, gumbo, both with okra, damn, if that don't get you hard enough to crack a brick with it I don't know what. Cook naked! Large kitchen, warm Louisiana afternoon. sweat dripping down slow, cold long neck bottles. You look over and they are stirring the pot on the stove and you can see the channel the grove down their backbone has become. the little bow the apron makes above their cheeks, like an accent. Syep up behind it, ease it in slow, hold their elbows back and work it like you own it. Make that stove rock and all the pots contents swirl.

so you're a farmer just like Islandman

 

[bronzeage]

Use it to make platypus gumbo, or use some other kind of strange Australian animal.

What the fuck?

 

[LiFeNdEaTh]

i love it, with some salt on it.

 

[Sinny]

What the fuck?

I know, right? I was thinking, ummm..... dude, hospital trip? What's with all the nutjobs lately?
I've tried giving the OP cooking advice, but it's like suggesting something to a brick wall with a horrid streak of defensiveness. She will find some way how it doesn't work or protest that she doesn't have the correct ingredients. Why bother?

When somebody talks about a warm Louisiana afternoon, I know they're crazy.

 

[KRCummings]

It's so hard to cook okra in a manner that isn't disgusting.

Fuck that state, especially New Orleans
