One bowl, no eggs. This recipe is a game changer. Thank you sir. Because of this video, I'm going to plant okra today! (I'm in the tropics🍹)...one tip, you can put your okra in the sun for an hour after slicing to dry off any slime
I love okra. Thank you for all THREE recipes. I plan to try all three. The dialogue between your wife and yourself accentuate your video. She has excellent and timely comments. Keep the videos coming to your new subscriber...
Great ideas. I've eaten and cooked okra almost my whole life, but will definitely give your ways a try. I think okra is one of the most under rated vegetables. A must have for any gumbos. Thanks for the video!!!
Oh, Yes---- I continue to LO VE OKRA!! HALLE-LU-JAH. Does it rhyme well. I may end up writing a song in praise of OKRA!! Do you think it is a good idea???
Excellent! I remember well picking okra in 110 deg. temps out in West Texas and my Aunt Lottie frying it up in the cast iron pan. It is, by far, my favorite vegetable dish. Picking okra was, for me, a bit of a challenge at first. My mother told me it was a lot like picking cotton which she did as a little girl (supposedly the two plants are related). Thanks for the post!
Your mother was wise. Okra and cotton are indeed in the same plant family! My challenge picking okra growing up in Alabama in the 60s was how you had to wear a long sleeve shirt and cotton gloves to keep the okra needles from biting me.
@@DrJohn493 Thank you for your kind reply and insight. I subscribed to your page. In particular, I enjoyed seeing the video of your involvement with Camp Hale in Pando. A friend of mine, now passed, was in the 10th Mountain Division during WWII and trained out of there. I'm a long-time railfan and spent time chasing the then-Denver and Rio Grande up on Tennessee Pass back in the 80s and 90s. One of my retirement projects is to build an N-Scale model railroad patterned after the Tennessee Pass line. Regarding the okra picking out in Ozona, TX back in the early 70s; it was there that I learned that anytime there's a King Snake around, Rattlesnakes usually stay away. This occurred while I was digging into the okra bush with snippers and sensed something slithering along in the adjacent row. After landing from the 4' straight jump I did while screaming "SNAKE!!!" my Aunt allowed that it was "Jist an ole Kang Snake... them rattlers'll stay away." I continued on with the okra cutting, but with a "heightened" sense of awareness of my surroundings thereafter. ;-)
@@DrJohn493 BTW, my aforementioned Aunt Lottie's husband, my Uncle Tommy, was originally from Sheffield, Alabama ("NA"). He left there in 1953 to find work eventually with El Paso Natural Gas Company and worked for them for 35+ years.
As a mexican dude, it is very weird to see someone actually COOK with salsa valentina. We typically use it on fruit or veg or when eating chips w/ lemon. Other than that, i dont know any mexican recipes that use valentina. Very creative!
@@TheFlatTopKing if you guys ever eat chips such as Doritos. Lay's, or hot Cheetos, throw some Valentina + lemon on top of them and you'll never go back to sour cream dip
Dag'um man I been up here in yankeeville USA aka jersey lol so long I ain't had fried okra in soooo long and man I'm bout 2 buy sir frozen okra lil that fresh looked awesome and the mustard is a great applicant now I'm hungry lol
@The Flat Top King man I keep saying ima grow me a garden I ain't got much space or time but I'ma do it 1 yr lol hopefully this yr I just got custody of my 15 yr well 16 "today is actually her bday" but she helps split wood n crap I know she'd help wit the garden lol
Normally my preferred method for okra is whole, coated in olive oil and sprinkled with whatever seasoning appeals that day then grilled to a light/medium char on the coals, but might have to give that "blackened" version a shot. Thanks.
Never, never, ever pick okra, don't care what kinda variety, without wearing long sleeve shirts and cotton gloves! 'cause those okra needles with make you itch like wildfire. Ask me how I know. Rookie mistake. As for cooking okra in cast iron, spot on!
I can...if you are just getting started I think LODGE is extremely hard to beat. Cheaper and extremely easy to use..it allows you to get the hang of cast iron..seasoning. washing,. and maintenance...worst case your out 20 bucks...but the learning lesson will be valuable to see if you want to invest in more expensive peices
Good video my friend,, after all this time I don't even know your FIRST name ! Don't take it personal but I can't call you king. That is only for Jesus,,, and ELVIS of course.. PS the only okra we can get up here in mt. Is in a can ! I don't think that is very southern, now is it?? Thank you Frank from montana...

hey thats a great tip....thanks...
I usually eat it raw thinly sliced with a dash of soy sauce and wasabi. I'm looking forward to trying these. Thanks.
Have to be honest....no clue why I haven't thought of that but its sounds great....thanks
First time growing Okra and I needed a way to cook it, now I have three fantastic recipes to try this weekend.

Awesome ways to make okra Neal! My favorite would be the succotash. That would be great on the Weber Summit in cast iron! Cheers!
We love to do the same blackened way but keep the okra whole and grill it.
All look delicious! Thanks
Thanks Dennis
Great ideas. I've eaten and cooked okra almost my whole life, but will definitely give your ways a try. I think okra is one of the most under rated vegetables. A must have for any gumbos. Thanks for the video!!!
Amen. I also keep then whole and toss in ranch dressing toss in blackened seasoning and grill them. Those ate great to.
I LOVE OKRA. HALLE-LU-JAH
IN-SHA-ALLAH.
hahah we do to..

Oh these look great! My okra is doing poorly this year. I may be going to the farmers market for enough to put back some.
love some fried okra for sure...about that time...

Man I love that hot sauce. I think it balanced. Thick snd not to vinegary.
@@TheFlatTopKing if you guys ever eat chips such as Doritos. Lay's, or hot Cheetos, throw some Valentina + lemon on top of them and you'll never go back to sour cream dip
@@jmleon92 Thats awesome. Thanks. Thats my weekend plan.
@@TheFlatTopKing quick correction. J meant green lime, not lemon. I tend to confuse them. But it still works either way :)
@@jmleon92 i got ya.
GREEEEEAT tips❤

Dag'um man I been up here in yankeeville USA aka jersey lol so long I ain't had fried okra in soooo long and man I'm bout 2 buy sir frozen okra lil that fresh looked awesome and the mustard is a great applicant now I'm hungry lol

Same here we go more just popping up
Man, I’m about to try that blackened okra. I already have some okra in the fridge.
My favorite way.
Unfortunately some of us do not have gardens. But as I used to tell my wife, "frozen okra beats no okra at all." How about them Vols!
Well Definitely cant go wrong with that idea...love it
Looks yummy!!! Great video!!
Thank you very much, I like your video and will try some tomorrow..wow love it.
Awesome....thanks
whoa that succotash looks so good
Thanks
👊
Very cool, Neal! Gotta keep my eyes open, don't see okra too often up here.
Way to mix it up brother! Great video!!!
So far I’m seeing 4 ingredients in this 2 ingredient fried okra. LOL
really nice job
Thanks
try okra and tomatoes. the acid in the tomatoes eliminates the slime
Interesting...thanks Dave

Can you suggest a great cast iron pan? Or what are you using.
