What does the red vinegar make on the okra?
Here in Mauritius, they are cooked in saffron (dry sauce) or in coconut milk sauce (+ tomatoes+ cumin) or in salad with vinaigrette (just boiled whole). Thanks for your recipes and beautiful photos, just discovered.

What a timely post! I am learning how to cook with okra right now, after having it a few times at my friend’s house and enjoying it immensely. I’ve only put it in with vege curries since first buying it last week, so will enjoy trying out this recipe, thanks

I love seeing okro (what we call it in Nigeria) cooked differently than what I’m used to! One way we cook it in Nigeria is to simmer the okro with a stockcube and water and then serve it with a tomato sauce (which we fry and call stew!)

Okra is such an under appreciated veggies and yet it’s present in most of the world’s cuisines. This preparation looks delicious and I’m looking forward to these little green fingers showing up at the markets.

I love okra! Although I have never cooked with it myself. My mother puts it in a Vietnamese Sour Soup. It matches perfectly. I love the crunch and and gooeiness.

This looks lovely! I have only eaten Okra occassionally when in other countries; it is not a vegetable that is used a lot here, although I think I should be able to find it in stores that sell more exotic ingredients. It definitely looks worth a try!

Very simple way to prepare okra. Us Indians usually drowse it with spices and kill it … lol
This is lovely.

I adore this Peter! I’ve never tried braised okra so I def have to try this. It reminds me of the Lebanese dish “loobiyah” which is green beans braised in tomato sauce.

And that’s all it is? That simple to be that good? Amazing. Love them when they are fresh. This recipe is getting earmarked for that season here.

Bamies are my absolute favorite of the standard Greek braised veggies. It’s tough for me to find fresh okra here, though – I guess not too many people in Chicago are fans. You are making me want to go on the hunt for some soon, though. Yum!
