Barbecued Okra

   Preheat the grill to high.

2. 2

   Place the salt, paprika, sugar, coriander, black pepper, cayenne, and celery seed in a small bowl and stir to mix.

3. 3

   Rinse the okra under cold running water and blot dry with paper towels.

4. 4

   Trim the tips off the stem ends of the okra but do not cut into the pods.

5. 5

   Place the okra in a large mixing bowl, add the butter and toss to coat.

6. 6

   Add the rub mixture and toss to coat.

7. 7

   When ready to cook, arrange the okra on the hot grate so that they are perpendicular to the bars or you may wish to skewer 4 or 5 pods side by side with bamboo skewers that have been soaked in water to keep any stray okra from falling through the grates and into the fire.

8. 8

   Grill the okra until nicely browned, about 2 to 4 minutes per side, turning with tongs as needed.

9. 9

   Transfer the grilled okra to a platter or plates and serve immediately.
