My family loves okra.
I put it in soups and gumbo, but I think this is the best way to cook it!
When okra is in season, we sometimes it several times a week.
wash and cut okra up
heat olive oil in a deep skillet,
when it is really hot, add okra
salt and pepper
saute until the okra begins to brown and soften
add Italian breadcrumbs
(I use about one half of the container.)
sometimes I need to drizzle a little more olive oil on top of the okra
continue to saute, turn temp. down a little if you need to
remove from heat and add sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese
toss a little
Dinner:
grilled cajun marinated chicken breast over a salad
homemade balsamic dressing
sautéed okra
