2 1/4 pounds baby okra -- washed
7 garlic cloves -- to 8, chopped
3 green chilies -- to 4, chopped (optional)
juice and zest of 1 lime
juice and zest of 1 lemon
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil -- scant, (3 1/2 fl oz)
fresh cilantro -- big handful, chopped
freshly ground rock salt -- to taste

Five minute job. Slice the okra finely, and put them in a tub with a lid.
Mix the rest of the ingredients togehter and pour over the okra, mixing
well. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Stir well in the morning, and leave
for a good few more hours before serving. This will keep in the fridge for
up to 1 week, and is actually at its best after 2 - 3 days. You can enjoy
it as it is, or incorporate it into salad dressings and other dishes.

Serves 4

AuthorNote: The second okra recipe uses them raw and sliced: this is a
good one for mezze spreads, as you can make it ahead.
