sautéed okra

Recipe by

A lot of people do not like the "slimy" okra. If you rinse this well then cook as directed it come out moist, caramelized and not slimy. It will slime up as it cooks but it will cook out. I think the only thing to make this better would be the addition of some diced up bacon.
