In this video I show you how I cook Boiled Okra.
This is a dish that I’ve been cooking for over 35 years. I was taught how to cook it by my dear sweet Grandma Lucille Lewis.
All you need is Okra butter salt pepper and water and that’s it. Enjoy!

Update 9/25/2023:
Due to many requests for a recipe and cooking length of this dish I will be adding a simple recipe today.
This recipe calls for about
1 Pound of Young and Tender Okra Pods
Wash and cut only the caps off, the tops.
Place in a small boiler pot.
Add 1 Cup of Water.
Add salt and pepper to your own taste.
Add 1 Tablespoons Butter. I use plant butter.
Over medium high heat bring to a rolling boil with the pot covered.
Once the pot reaches a rolling boil reduce the heat to medium.
After 10 minutes check for tenderness.
It won’t be ready.
Put the top back on the pot and cook for another 10 minutes.
The pods should be done but you’ve got to let the liquid boil down to almost nothing.
Leaving the top off let the okra cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Your okra should be perfect and ready to eat. Enjoy!
P.S.
All rangers cook differently so be sure to watch your pot just incase it cooks faster. You’ll want to add a little more water if your pods aren’t done after 20 minutes.
