![]() It was very good as well, so maybe next time I shall be posting Okra-bean stew. Mushy or not the stew was delicious and the next day I mixed the left overs with beans and made some Okra-bean stew. ![]() I think next time I make this stew again I shall simmer okra for barely 5 minutes. That’s how my Okra got a dose of salted and diluted vinegar, but I liked the end result. Don’t ask me why I soaked it in vinegar, in my ‘ googling’ ventures some recipe suggested soaking Okra in vinegar, and I said “this sounds cool, vinegar it shall be!”. After 12 minutes my okra was falling apart, it was mushy (or was it because I soaked it in vinegar before cooking?). Most of those recipes seemed to suggest that Okra should be cooked for at least 15 minutes so I set 15 minutes on the timer and went on to do other things. ![]() It’s a fusion of the many recipes I ‘ googled’. I immediately went searching for a recipe and after looking at ten or so different recipes and borrowing ingredients from everywhere I came up with this recipe. I am not really an expert at cooking with Okra, but there is always a first, and second and third time before you become an expert. So there and then I decided to make some Okra soup, or stew or whatever. I was so excited to see Okra, because I can’t remember when I last cooked anything with Okra. This Okra container is right next to the herbs, and I buy herbs every week and yet I had never noticed it, before. The other day I was window-shopping, (why do we call it window-shopping even though there are no windows once you are inside the store?), when I suddenly noticed Okra ( lady’s finger, bhindi, Gumbo). “How come I have never seen this,” I ask myself, “or omg I never knew I could find this here” I suddenly see things I never knew existed, or things I had never seen before and suddenly, ooh and aah and omg, rend the air. Have you ever found yourself window-shopping at your local grocery store? I do that from time to time and every time I do it.
