Enjoy this versatile veggie simply boiled this way all by itself, or add some to your soups and stews to thicken and flavor them up.
What You'll Need
- 8 cups water
- 1 pound fresh okra, rinsed and trimmed
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 cup (½ stick) butter
What to Do
- In a large saucepan, combine the water, okra, and salt; bring to a boil over high heat. Allow to boil for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the okra is tender.
- Drain then return the okra to the saucepan. Add the butter and cook over low heat until the butter melts and coats the okra, stirring frequently.
Notes
These are a favorite when cooked just right, but be careful not to overcook them - that makes 'em get slimy and turn to mush.

this person has quite a bit of water and okra they are cooking so to cut the slime part out of it which i can't stand it's gross,that much water, i would add about 4 tbsps of white vinegar or apple cider will work , i just prefer white for this kind of thing it adds extra flavor to and is a little salty so make sure to taste before adding salt.
