I've recently been surfing for some new okra recipes that don't
involve frying or mixing with much other stuff.... Apparently one can
microwave the pods for a couple minutes, just like with carrots
or onions. I'll try it when my new crop comes in....If it works,
it'll be a nice, quick snack...

Also, as one of the other posters here mentioned, baking
them. I'll try that also....
