Sautéed Okra

(this recipe is great because leaving the okra whole keeps the dish from getting slimy)

  • 1/2 pound fresh, unblemished small okra
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Red-pepper flakes
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1. Trim the stems off the ends of the okra, taking care not to cut into the interior of the pods.
2. Pour the oil into a large skillet over medium-high heat and allow it to heat until almost smoking. Add the okra and red-pepper flakes to taste. Sauté until the pods have softened slightly, but are still crisp and brightly colored, 6 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Bellini
3 parts Prosecco
1 part peach puree*
*Make peach puree by removing skins and pits from ripe peaches, cutting and blending in a blender on medium until well processed.

  1. Combine Prosecco and peach puree in a well-chilled highball glass or champagne flute.
