With okra, harvesting the small, tender fruits and knowing how to cook them are two key ingredients. Historically, okra is not eaten alone and is paired in many recipes with its strong, complex flavors and varied texture. Okra is often used as a soup or stew ingredient, although its texture and flavors are enhanced when fried and grilled. Okra pairs well with basil, beet greens, butter, cream, garlic, lemon, turnip greens, onions, parsley, olive oil, pickled vegetables, chili peppers, paprika, and tomatoes.
