Okra A La Cross Creek

1. 1

   Have ready boiling, lightly salted water.

2. 2

   Choose only tiny very young fresh okra pods.

3. 3

   Wash.

4. 4

   Do not cut off the stem end, as you trust me.

5. 5

   Drop whole pods in rapidly boiling water and boil exactly seven minutes from the time the water resumes its boiling. Not a moment longer.

6. 6

   Drain quickly.

7. 7

   Arrange like the spokes of a wheel on hot individual serving dishes.

8. 8

   Place individual bowls of Hollandaise in the centers of the dishes.

9. 9

   The okra is eaten as one eats unhulled strawberries, lifting with the fingers by the stem end and dipping into Hollandaise.

10. 10

    I recommend this to those who think they don't like okra.

11. 11

    It is firm, not slimy and with the sauce, superb.
