Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 This is what I do. I love okra. Cut them in rounds, steam for a few minutes so they are still crunchy. Rinse in cold water and toss in the crockpot. Do this near the end as they won't take long to finish cooking.

I had bought some okra for this before really studying the recipe which actually uses courgettes (zucchini) instead. However I am thinking of adding some of the okra anyway. What is the best way to cook them so that they don't go slimy? TIA Christie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Thanks Donna - I shall give that a go. Many years ago I used to make a bhindi bhaji using okra but then one time it came out really slimy and put me off eating okra. Christie , thelilacflower wrote: > > This is what I do. I love okra.
