This smothered okra recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think it would be better with less cayenne pepper. Otherwise, the okra was cooked well and the sauce was flavorful.

This smothered okra recipe was just okay. The okra was a bit tough and the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The smothered okra was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper, and maybe some additional spices. The okra itself was cooked well, but the sauce was a bit too thin.

I tried this recipe for smothered okra last night and it turned out great! The okra was cooked evenly and the sauce was packed with flavor. I added a bit more cayenne pepper for some extra heat, which really brought the dish together.
