Amount Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 1/4         pounds baby okra -- washed
7                     garlic cloves -- to 8 cloves, 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 -- (3 1/2 fl oz)
                        fresh cilantro -- big handul, chopped
                        freshly milled rock salt

Five minute job. Slice the okra finely, and put them in a tub with a lid.
Mix the rest of the ingredients together 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 to 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.
