Hot Curried Okra


Ingredients 4-6
1 tsp red palm oil
1 onion, chopped
1 habanero pepper, slit
1 tsp curry
1/4 tsp chili powder
1 lb sliced okra
water, to cover

Directions:
If you can get fresh okra, fantastic. If not, thaw a bag of okra.
Heat up the red palm oil in a medium pot. Add the chopped onion and habanero pepper.
Toss in the curry and chili powder, stir, and keep on cooking.
When the onions are soft and beginning to brown, add the thawed okra (mine gave off a LOT of thick juices when it thawed, I just drained them off).
Next, splash on the water – stop when you get about an inch from the top of the okra. Season with salt and pepper.
Simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes (or up to 45 minutes – which, I’ve heard, can cook out okra’s thick ooze). The mixture will be thick and viscous (a.k.a. gooey) so serve with a slotted spoon. Also – eat with rice or other veggies to disperse some of the goo. The flavor is wonderful.
