Boiled Okra Or Gumbo Recipe
The long seed pod is the edible part of this plant, it can be canned or
dried for winter use. If dried let it soak an hour or so before using.
To cook, cut the pods in rings, boil them in salted water until tender
which will be in about twenty minutes. Add butter, salt, pepper and
cream. Thin muslin bags are sometimes made to hold the whole pods
without breaking. After boiling tender, pour them out, season with
butter, salt and pepper and bake for five minutes.
