Okra

Okra is a gooey kind of vegetable and most people don't like the taste of it either. However, growing okra has been incredibly easy. On top of that okra has very good health benefits.
Last year, I had an amazing crop, I was able to pick about a pound a day, so bountiful that I did not dare repeat it. My family can only eat so much okra per day!

This year, I only grew a few plants just so I can use it as an excuse to barbecue some ribs to go with it.


Barbecue ribs with steamed okra and quick pickle cucumbers


Here is a simple, no brainer recipe:

Step 1: Start with raw meat or ribs


Step 2: Sprinkle generous amounts of salt,pepper,and paprika(for coloring) on both sides of each piece of meat


Step 3: Stack one on top of the other in an oven(or gas grill)with very low temperature around 225 degrees


Step 4: Every thirty minutes, open the lid and rotate the ribs, so the non-cooked part will be on top of the cooked part,this will keep the cooked meat moist, 2-3 hours later, when it looks done, it should be like this picture


Bon appetit!
