Edible parts

Young tender pods
Recipe idea for your Elisa F1 okra harvest. Prepare a pan-fried okra with tomatoes. Choose young, tender pods, rinse them, and dry them thoroughly before cutting. Remove the stem without cutting into the seed cavity unnecessarily, then keep the small pods whole or cut the others into segments. Sauté an onion in a large pan with a little oil. Add the okra and let it brown slightly, then stir in diced ripe tomatoes and a touch of garlic. Continue cooking until the pods are tender. Their mucilage helps to thicken the tomato juice and gives the sauce a characteristic texture. Serve with rice and pre-cooked chickpeas for a plant-based meal. A fairly wide pan makes evaporation easier if you prefer a less liquid consistency. Stir gently to keep some pieces well-formed. Adjust the salt at the end and add fresh herbs just before bringing the dish to the table.
