Okra Ensalada

Okra, known in many English-speaking countries as lady's finger or gumbo pod, is one of my hubby’s favorite vegetables.  I’m looking for other way how to serve it in such a way my husband would enjoy eating it other than adding it in Pakbet or Sinigang.  So I thought of ensalada.  Instead of my usual mango ensalada, this time Okra Ensalada! It’s so easy to prepare!!

Ingredients:

10 pcs. Okra (medium)

1-2 pcs Minced White Onion

1-2 pcs. Sliced/Minced Tomato(medium riped)

3-4 tbs. Bagoong Guisado

2 cups Water

2 cups Iced Water

Procedures:

1. In a sauce pan, boil water.
2. Blanch Okra for 30 seconds.
3. Remove okra from hot water and dipped in iced water.
4. Arrange okra in a serving plate and top it with onion, tomato and bagoong.

Makes 2-3 servings

Tip:  Never let okra stay in hot water more that a minute for it will overcooked.
