I’ve got too much. I’m thinking about letting the plants go at this point. I don’t want to be wasteful.

Any Southerners on your circle of acquaintances?
How about West Africans?
I had a similar problem a couple of years ago and eventually learned who liked it other than my husband. 😜 I also quick – pickled some with habaneros and garlic and herbs and liked that better then most of my own attempts at cooking it.

I just tried this west African recipe (okro soup) for the first time, said to be what gumbo is based from, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. https://www.africanbites.com/okra-soup/
Try Indian recipes for bhindi as well. If you happen to be in the NYC/ NJ area I’ll happily relieve you of the bounty.

I planned for lot OKRA plants this year but rabbits got to many of those. I have few left and started producing but not to this level …
Amazing produce
If you have any Indian neighbors or co workers ? They would gladly take it …. Very beloved vegetable

You can freeze them by boiling them for 3-4 minutes, dunking them in ice bath, then freezing. Mine grow infrequently so I’m saving up for a big batch.

Pickle them! I am not a huge fan of regular okra but love them pickled. They don’t get slimy.

Omg—wish I lived close enough to take those off your hands!

If I lived anywhere nearby, I’d absolutely take part of that off your hands lmao. Would throw that in a vegetable soup, or a salad, or fry some of it up and eat it as a side dish. Or pickle it. I love okra.

Good lord I’d take them ALL… they are absolutely delicious in a lot of Indian dishes and I love them.
If you’re looking for a simple way to cook them- toss the whole washed okra with flaky salt, paprika, your favorite oil and Indian garam masala. Put them on double skewers ( like you would do for jumbo shrimp) and grill them. They are incredibly delicious just as a side, or in sandwiches , wraps.

Try pickeling them. They’re great in a bloody mary. Also good battered and fried. You can even dry them, grind them up and use the powder as a nutritional boost and thickener.

Next year I’m planting a few of those..

Lucky! I had six plants (all different varieties) but the animal life keep getting to them especially Bambi. They have produced a little but will have to definitely have to improve the garden defenses next year.

Indians LOVE okra. Hand it to your local Indian place and they’ll happily use it.
