How do you take the slime out of okra?

In my experience, the acid of the tomatoes will cut the slime. Or add a little vinegar. Or keep cooking past the slime.

Personally, I like okra any way. Boiled and slimy, fried and crispy, smothered and tomatoey, or in shrimp and okra gumbo. I only ever put it in gumbo if it's specifically shrimp and okra.

I saute them in a pan. dries the slime out before i put it in my gumbo

If the market is out of the slimeless okra I usually bake it for 10 to 20 minutes to cut the slime down.

Pepper vinegar

I never tried that, but i will this Saturday.

Sun dry okra on back porch for about 2 weeks. Will shrivel up like its cold.

Prior to cooking, chop and place in water. Will rehydrate. No slime when cooked.

Yes, but I boil the ribeye for about 4 minutes before popping into the 'wave. Renders the fat part very tasty!

I believe that award would go to Skillet as didnt he start that whole thing?
