Quick Pickled Okra

Ingredients

  • 1 pound okra pods, washed and sliced in half lengthwise
  • 6 tablespoons kohser salt
  • 2 cups water
  • 3 cups distilled vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
  • 2 cups sliced onions

Directions

  • In a colander, toss the okra with 3 tablespoons of the salt. Let drain in the sink or over a bowl for 1 hour.
  • Combine the water, vinegar, the remaining 3 tablespoons salt, the sugar, bay leaves, cayenne and mustard seeds in a nonreactive saucepan over medium heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar and salt. Bring to a boil. Add the onions and cook for 1 minute, until they are slightly soft.
  • Rinse the okra in cool water to remove the salt and any slime that has accumulated. Put the okra in a large plastic bowl or other nonreactive container. Pour the brine mixture over the okra and stir. Cool to room temperature.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours before using. Can be stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
