How do you cook down okra?

[roundone]

I use tomatoes, but don't necessarily care for the tomato taste. Other options?

Just cook it on medium high for about ten minutes with a little oil stirring constantly, you can add vinegar to help with the de-sliming process. If you have a pound of okra I'd say to add a couple of tablespoons of vinegar.

I use tomato to cut the slime and a little okra. sometimes I dice onion small and add sometimes I don't. season to taste and just cook it down slow until its as broken down as you want it. I let it cool then bad it into quart bags and freeze it.

hand it to my wife and open a can of rotel for her.

I have looked at this for a while and am trying to figure out what you mean by "cook down".

If you mean de-slime the okra, it can can be done by par-boiling and wrinsing. Or, repeated "blanchings".

Please tell us what you mean by "cook down" !
