    OKRA TIP - first cook in a little oil BEFORE adding water or broth. We call this "drying it out". Water makes the raw okra gooey and impossible to eat for those with texture issues. We use okra everyday in okra soup here in the Bahamas. Just make sure all "slime" is cooked until "dry". - 12/21/11

    This is like a Greek family recipe. I use onions and garlic and if using fresh okra, clean and leave 25 minutes in a bowl of water with some vinegar. This will stop it from breaking up and getting gooey. I add some carrots as well. Love it. - 2/13/09

    This is great...but put over some brown or dirty rice OR use wheat or spinach noodles. Very filling and add about 100 calories for noodles or rice. - 2/13/09

    I just made something similar. I added chili powder, to make it more like a vegetarian chili. I have also made this as a side dish for a Caribbean theme meal, and added lime juice (Yummy) - 2/13/09
