Being a Southern girl, I could live off okra! Here's a quick and easy recipe that even my Yankee husband and kids will eat.
Quick Okra Saute
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon butter
1/2 pound fresh okra
kosher salt
pepper
Heat oil and butter over high heat in a large skillet. Add okra and saute 3 to 4 minutes or until pods are bright green with slight browning. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Saute okra only until al dente, you don't want it limp or slimy. For an extra kick, throw in some minced garlic when you saute the okra.
