Okra

[gothwalk]

inannajones managed to find some okra in a supermarket here today. It's fresh. What do we do with it? I know it's usually eaten fried, but I suspect there's more to it than just throwing it on the pan, right?

Hm. I have a recipe for a tomato risotto, which seems to be looking for an extra bit of flavour (something in the salt/smoke region). You think okra might fill the gap?

It's not salty or smoky. But it does go well with tomatoes...never tried it in a risotto.
