My best friend was born in Alabama. He absolutely loves okra. I like it fried (Ooops, did I just say that?).

this sounds amazing, Hetty! I am very iffy on making okra, but in the hands of a person who knows what they're doing it is one of the most delicious veg!! I have oodles of outstanding okra memories from different restaurants--charred and crispy, deep fried or frizzled mostly! It's definitely worth our love and care when you have the energy to do it right.

They really are not as much work as you think. I just sliced them, tossed in spices and panfried. Very satisfying. I also like roasting them whole until crispy. I hope you get to try them this season

I used feta since I had no halloumi. This was wonderful - way more than the sum of its parts.

Yum! I absolutely love okra. There is nothing more beautiful than the okra plant, BTW. First, a gorgeous flower, then an amazing plant structure where each okra grows pointy tip up. I find the entire thing fascinating. Plus, of course, you get to eat them, LOL!
