I had the odd situation of having fresh okra in my backyard as a biology project but never having eaten it before. I was a little wary of the classic frying recipes, so I tried this one. At first I was worried that it would turn out bland as many of the reviews mentioned adding extra spices, of which I had none. But the end product was truly delicious with just salt and pepper - as said before, you really can't screw this up! My only suggestion is maybe to add celery first or cut it up extremely small, as my okra and bell peppers were thoroughly cooked when my celery still had a fair amount of rawness.
