Message: <blockquote data-quote="Annb" data-source="post: 2759516" data-attributes="member: 25851">Today I was introduced to okra.  I've seen TV chefs use it, but it isn't available on the Island so never had a chance to try it.  All the same, I thought I wouldn't like it (nasty, slimy stuff).  My friend has just come back from the mainland and, at a farmers' market there, she found okra.  She had never used it before either but she bought some and made a kind of stew with aubergine and tomato with it, which I tasted and, it was pretty good.  There must be other ways of using it so I have ordered some from Amazon and will try it.  I had a quick check online and saw that there are a few different ways of cooking it.My friend's sister lives on the mainland and is T2 diabetic and says it is useful in controlling her diabetes.  If so, it's worth knowing.I also noticed on Amazon okra powder which can be used to thicken stews and so on, but it is low carb, so I ordered some of that as well.Does anyone have any okra cooking tips?  I gather that to avoid the slime, the okra shouldn't be cut or even severely trimmed.</blockquote>
