Okra, an often overlooked vegetable, offers numerous neuroprotective compounds plus insoluble fiber, which feeds good bacteria in the gut. This super-simple recipe avoids the slime that results from overcooking or boiling; smaller okra also minimize any slippery moisture. You can also toss the pieces in cornmeal before pan-searing for added crunch.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 pound fresh, small okra
- Sea salt, for sprinkling
- Coarse cornmeal optional
