I want to like this shit so bad because I married into a bunch of southerners but I can’t. Why the fuck is it so mucus-y and how do people stand to eat it. Even when it’s fried i can’t help but think of snot. Is there any way to overcome this? I also want to know why people like this slimy abomination

I eat a ton of okra, it's a bit particular to cook but it's worth it.
It's a strong thickener, so added to any kind of soup or stew it will thicken it right up.
It oxidises rapidly, so keep it under water if it's cut.
These two together means that it's great grilled, because it thickens it's own marinade.
Some of the best okra I ever had was in Yunan, marinaded in rice win vinegar, yellow mustard, garlic, hot chilli- other things.

It's also used extensively in African food, god only knows what for.

>>15815580
Yes, don't cut them and try not to stir too much.

I like them two ways:

1. Plain. Fry them whole, quickly in a wok.
2. As a stew. I use tomato puree & pasata because the acid helps prevent the mucillage, but still you need to not stir them very much if at all.

I generally love southern food but okra kinda sucks. However, there's an Indian dish called bhindi masala (or bhindi sabzi) which is a pretty amazing okra curry. Also as others have mentioned there's ways to make them less slimy.

Also a midwesterner, the local grocery store doesn't have it fresh, but you can find it in the frozen veg aisle in both the plain old regular chain store and also the hippy health food place. You can often also find the pickled variety which I don't really like

Mexican restaurants targeted towards hispanics here will have grilled cactus sometimes and I think it's really similar to that. Just think of how aloe vera feels and it's pretty close to that, but inside what looks like a pepper but tastes like a zucchini
