That sounds really good, especially the Ginger.
I haven’t cooked with Okra either, but I’ve always been intrigued...maybe someone out there has some Okra hints, to make those of us who just think ‘Slimy’, think Differently ;-)

We need a southerner to advise us about okra.
But please, take in my suggestion about ‘baked’ potatoes for potato salad. They are not pretty but they make a most delicious salad.
I tried okra in the Laurie Colwin recipe and found it disgusting. A lot of people do which may mean it is either disgusting or we’re cooking with it incorrectly.
Interesting you mention that, since the first thing I thought when looking at the picture was that the okra was missing. You can find plenty of recipes for a corn/okra/tomato chowder that are just wonderful. All of the veggies give up their structure and their sugars and you end up with something that is practically a dessert (IMO).
I grill okra(am growing it this year). I have used this recipe and changed it up now and then. It is good with a dipping sauce of some kind. I have made it with yoghurt and fresh herbs.
