Passionate okra lovers crave this bright green, heat-loving
vegetable, whether fried, grilled, steamed, roasted, boiled,
broiled, pickled, raw, whole, sliced, or julienned. With Okra,
Virginia Willis provides "the key that unlocks the door of okra
desire" to okra addicts and newcomers to the pod alike. Topping
eight feet, with gorgeous butter-yellow flowers that ripen into the
plant's signature seed-filled pods, okra has a long association
with foodways in the American South. But as Willis shows, okra is
also an important ingredient in cuisines across Africa, Asia, and
Latin America. Featuring gardening tips, a discussion of heirloom
varieties, and expert cooking directions (including a list of "top
ten slime-busting tips"), Okra brilliantly showcases fifty
delectable recipes: twenty-six southern dishes, ranging from
Southern-Style Fried Okra to Gulf Coast Seafood Gumbo, and
twenty-four authentic global dishes, from Moroccan Lamb and Okra
Tagine with Preserved Lemons to Cuban Pork with Yellow Rice, Okra,
and Annatto Oil.
