Okra and Potato Salad image

To make the salad, I steam the potatoes first and, as soon as they're done, season them and toss them with a portion of the lemon juice and vinegar dressing. Then, I briefly steam and slice the trimmed okra and toss everything together. It tastes like a creamy potato salad with a garlicky Mediterranean accent.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
3/4 pound small potatoes, preferably fingerlings, scrubbed and sliced about 1/2-inch thick
Salt
Black pepper
1 pound okra
1 serrano pepper, seeded if desired, minced
1 shallot, minced, soaked for 5 minutes in cold water, and drained
1 garlic clove, puréed in a mortar and pestle with a pinch of salt
1/4 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 to 2 ounces crumbled feta for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix together lemon juice and vinegar in a small bowl.
  • Steam potatoes above 1 inch water for 10 minutes, until tender enough to easily pierce with the tip of a knife. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice-vinegar mix.
  • Trim away okra stems, just above the line where the stem cap joins the okra spear. Place in steamer, cover and steam 4 minutes. Drain and rinse briefly with cold water, then drain on a dish towel.
  • Slice okra about 1/3- to 1/2-inch thick and add to bowl with potatoes. Add serrano and shallot. Season generously with salt and pepper, and toss together.
  • Whisk garlic, yogurt and olive oil into remaining lemon juice-vinegar mix. Toss with the okra and potatoes. Add parsley and toss again. Garnish with crumbled feta if desired, and serve.

I've never been a big fan of okra, but this recipe changed my mind. The okra was cooked perfectly and had a nice crunch.
