I've been trying to respond to the previous questions on my blog post for yesterday, but it won't accept it. Weird.
Anyway, I've made okra two ways so far. First, I wash it and cut the caps off. Then I cut it lengthwise in half. I put some olive oil in a bowl, add the okra and coat it, then add flour, cumin and salt and coat. The oil helps it to stick. Then I fry it in oil. Yummy!
But, this recipe is really awesome:

What does it taste like. Hmm, it has a mild, musky flavor. More earthy than cucumbers or squash. It has mucilaginous properties, which you might call slime. I didn't notice it in the finished products in the two recipes I use it in, but it does get on your knife, cutting board, etc.
Can't comment?

I added zucchini and yellow squash to the above recipe, because, well, I am getting buried from all of them. Turned out great again!
