- Bake in 180 C until the okra is tender and most of the meal’s juice has evaporated.
- At least 1 hour of baking is required. Serve warm.
Okra must have its stem removed. Due to its slimy texture when cooked, it is better to sprinkle them with vinegar and let them drain in the sun for 1 hour. Sun in Greece is abundant, thank god! This way they will be cooked easier. Frozen okra, can be bought from supermarkets and are cleaned.
