I have tried this, and I really liked it. I like okra, and this is a new way for me to enjoy it!
Just made this…fantastic. My hubby and I ate it all in one go! 🙂
Absolutely Delicious!! I’ve used both frozen and fresh, and both were fabulous! No slime!!
This looks great. Did you wash it then dry with paper towel or let it air dry?
We washed the okra and let it air dry. I suppose you could pat the okra dry, it is hard to rub dry because of the texture. Enjoy.
