The Cajuns cook okra wrong. Steam it until tender then toss in a bowl with a little oil and salt. Put lid on the bowl for a minute to let the salt cook in a bit. Then eat. oil can be omitted or use butter instead but some salt is needed. Fresh ground black pepper will enhance it.

IMO, okra as a separate dish is completely unpalatable no matter how cooked (my mother loved the stuff, so it was served often). In gumbo, OTOH it is great.
