Ingredients

About 2 cups or so of baby okra pods -- no longer than 2" long, maximum.

1/2 cup unsalted sweet cream butter, melted

Several squeezes of fresh lemon juice.

1 - 1 1/2 quarts of water

Directions

Bring the water to a full boil.

While the water is coming to a boil, squeeze lemon juice into the melted butter.

Pour the okra into the boiling water and boil for exactly seven minutes.

Drain and plunge the okra into ice water for just a few seconds

Drain, and arrange okra attractively on a platter.

To serve, each diner takes an individual okra pod by the stem end, dips all or part of it into the lemon butter, and eats it!

I bet this looks fantastic; wish it were in front of me now.
