Dehydrated Okra

[baymule]

I dehydrated a lot of okra this summer. This is the first time I dehydrated veggies and I had a lot of fun with it. I learned dehydrated tomatoes make a great snack and so does dehydrated okra. So this afternoon, I didn't feel like cooking. I had some chicken broth and meat in the freezer, in the pot it went. Then I got out the dehydrated bucket. I dumped in okra, tomatoes and onions. I picked an orange bell pepper in the garden and supper simmered while I did a bunch of nothing.

The soup was yummy! And in case anyone wants to know, re-hydrated de-hydrated okra is NOT all slimy! It was tender and good. :rose

When I saw your post, my first thought was- if only dehydrating it, made it less slimy. And... you say it does! Now that is good news. I might even try my hand at growing it! So nice to have ingredients on hand, when dinner time comes! Enjoy!

Ha! Those were my exact same thoughts.

Thanks baymule.

Hey Smiles, love your avatar! I tried dehydrating some okra, but didn't like it. Not slimy, just hard/chewy garlic flavored stemmy things. Like what you would surreptitiously spit out in your napkin at dinner.
