I’ve often thought that they’d be good stuffed with pepper jack or hot pimento cheese, battered and flash fried, but I’m not sure that cleaning the seeds out would prevent the slime. Frying itself does, so I guess it would not be a problem.

And here’s a recipe for pickling Okra:

I love fried okra ; ) While I was visiting my mom we went out & she got some smoked trout spread & it came w/ 2 pickled okra. She said they were good.
