When selling okra, we often get the question, "how am I supposed to cook this?" I often reply by giving my favorite way to eat okra -- with tomatoes. Recently, we've had a TON of okra in the garden and I find myself asking, "how am I supposed to cook this now?" After a quick search on Pinterest, I found grilled okra. Looking at the picture only, because I hate following recipes, I gave it a whirl. The result was pretty excellent.
1. Cut okra in half lengthwise.
2. Thread okra onto skewers.
3. Sprinkle with salt and creole seasoning (recipe to follow).
4: Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side (until crispy, but not burned. . . just keep an eye on it).
**I liked dipping mine in ranch dressing like you would with fired okra. Yum!**
Mr. B's Creole Seasoning
1/3 cup paprika
3 tablespoons dried oregano
3 tablespoons ground black pepper
2 tablespoons dried basil
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoons cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon granulated onion
4 teaspoons dried thyme
4 teaspoons granulated garlic
Next time you're grilling give it a whirl. It's easy, it's delicious, and by grilling your entire meal, you keep that kitchen a little cleaner a little longer.
Hope y'all enjoy!
