How To Make braised baby okra

Step 1

Wash and clean okra. Do not trim tops off.

Step 2

Add okra,1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 cup water, optional clove of garlic, salt and fresh ground black pepper to a lidded pan, or skillet.
Step 3

Turn heat to high. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, covered, shaking pan to keep from sticking. Until the pods are crisp-tender and still bright green. Watch so sauce does not dry up. DO NOT BROWN!
Step 4

Put into a shallow serving bowl and drizzle with an additional tablespoon of EVOO. Toss to coat. Serve warm or at room temp.
