THESE SUGGESTIONS MAY BE MORE PALLATABLE...

toss okra in oil and grill for about 10 min till blackened and crunchy
add diced tomatoes
THE ACID IN THE TOMATOES CUTS THE SLIME OF OKRA

***********
chop onion
trim and slice okra
butter in skillet (I guess can use EVOO)

stir in onions, then okra
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp coriander
ground black pepper
salt
stir often
can add diced tomatoes
*************************
quick dunk in hot oil
fry
*********
oil, sliced garlic till golden
add okra and splash of water to lightly steam
cover for 20 minutes
******

cornmeal coating and fry

NOTE: Drink GREEN TEA WITH IT -- that shrinks tumors

I drank gallons of the stuff for yrs...
