Adapted from Virginia Willis' latest book, Okra, published by The University of North Carolina Press, this fast sauté is great over grits or a bed of arugula.

I impulsively bought fresh okra at the farmers market because my late Grandma Opal liked it, though I never did. Thank you for the preparation tips! I trimmed the stems, cleaned the okra pieces with a mushroom brush, and cut them lengthwise. Then I pan sauteed them -- though it took longer for me than the recipe said -- added some Cajun spice and filé powder, and voila! A lovely side dish! It still had a bit of the slick okra texture, but I found it delicious.
