Ingredients
Directions
Cut off the stems of the okra, leaving them intact unless the points are discolored.
Place the whole okra in a china-lined saucepan with salted boiling water.
Boil for 20 to 30 minutes until perfectly tender, being careful not to let them break.
Drain off the water and serve as desired.
