This is so simple and so good that I have often made a meal of these tiny veggies alone! I don't recall how I first heard about this use for okra, but I do know that it was in the early 1980s when I lived near a delightful family who operated a small truck farm.

I love okra and grew it once in my garden. I made as many dishes as I possibly could with the one plant.
I bet this looks fantastic; wish it were in front of me now.
