A GOOD recipe with Okra!!!?!
Help!
Answers: I have to make something with Okra in it. I really like veggies, but I've never had Okra before, so I'm not too excited about making something with it. So I'm wondering if anyone has had anything with Okra that tasted really good, and preferably not a soup either.
