Okra is awesome! It's great fresh as long as it doesn't get too big and fibrous. It's really easy to saute. I like to add some tomato and garlic for a simple veggie side dish. Lightly grilled with a bit of lemon juice and pepper on top is also really yummy. The velvety skin, the little sweet seeds and the glorious slime makes it a tour de force of textures and sensations in your mouth.
