Best way to eat okra, my opinion. Steam fresh small okra pods for 3 minutes or less.<br />Drizzle one scant tablespoon butter, juice of one lemon or lime. Serve al dente, with small sprinkling of Parmesan Reggiano,,or NOT. Serve hot, or at room temperature.<br /><br />Works well with freshly thawed frozen okra pods as well<br /><br />Incredible
