Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh okra
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Wash the fresh okra thoroughly under cool running water and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Trim the stems slightly, making sure not to cut into the pods.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes. Whisk well to create a smooth and emulsified marinade.
Add the trimmed okra to the marinade and toss until all of the pods are evenly coated. Be gentle to avoid breaking the pods.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the okra and marinade to an airtight container. Place it in the fridge and allow it to marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
Before serving, sprinkle the marinated okra with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a zesty side dish or appetizer.
