Expert Tips And FAQs
To help you make the best Okra and Tomatoes possible.
Tip: Try to avoid the larger okra pods because they can be tougher when cooked. Anything around 4 inches is too long.
Tip: The acidity of the tomatoes will help to reduce any slime the okra produces. Adding a splash of lemon or lime juice will help do the same.
Tip: Turn up the spice with my Cajun Seasoning, a dash of hot sauce, cayenne pepper, or even a bit of chili powder.
