Not only could I not readily access the delicious food they were making, even if I could, I wouldn't have been able to eat it thanks to my stitches! Boo!
As I watched one of the later episodes, Tiffany decided to cook an Okra dish, Michael hates okra due to it's sliminess. Personally, I think Michael is nuts.
Mmmmm Okra. How can anyone hate okra?! it's SO delicious!
Although I must agree that the slime might turn off people, the flavor and the texture of Okra is great and it is one of my most favorite vegetables!
A few months ago I made Emeril's Gumbo and the addition of Okra made it perfect- yummy slime! Last week, I thought I'd make a quick snack and roast some Okra and see what it did to the sliminess.. it did wonders.
Recipe follows:
--------------------------------------------------
1/2 lb okra
Olive Oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 325F. Slice the okra in half and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil and salt and pepper to taste, toss. Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes.
--------------------------------------------------
Yes. That's it. Maybe one of the shortest recipes I can give you. It's that simple.
If you're scared of the sliminiess of Okra, this is a great recipe as roasting it gets rid of some of it. Slightly crunchy with a smooth texture, it was a perfect snack during that long week of Top Chef episodes!
