Okras are like green been, they to be cleaned with water and chop off their head, let it a bit in water with vinegar and cook them in the pot with all the ingredients mentioned above + olive oil, pepper and salt.
Okras can be cooked with meat as well, starting always with the meat, and then adding the okras.
Lovely food that makes me escape out of the ordinary every day food.
Chop it into smaller pieces, like 5mm coins, pan fry in a modest amount of oil (not too hot) until the slime is gone and just starts to brown, and add garlic and salt. Amazing.
