How To Boil Okra 10 Steps With Pictures

A 3-quart (2. 8 l) pot is a good size for boiling the okra.

You can substitute any type of vinegar or even lemon juice for the cider vinegar.

Be careful not to overcook the okra or it may become slimy and mushy.

If you prefer, you can substitute bacon drippings or olive oil for the butter. You can substitute or incorporate other seasonings along with the pepper. Turmeric, cumin, chili powder, and coriander all work well with okra.

Store any leftover okra in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for up to 3 days.
