OKRA PILAU
Okra has been grown in the tropical regions of Africa for centuries. From there, according to some food historians, it made its way to the Low Country. The Gullah people, descendants of enslaved West Africans, use okra in okra soup, gumbo, okra pilau, fried okra and okra stew. The vegetable has many nutritional benefits: it's rich in vitamins A and C, a good source of magnesium and contains catechins, a type of antioxidant.

OKRA PILAU
Pilaus are a staple of the low country SC kitchen. The only problem with preparing them is that is essential that you have a rice steamer. A rice steamer works like a double boiler except that it allows steam to enter the top part of the device. If you Google "Charleston Rice Steamer" several sites will appear where you can purchase one of these. Target has one for $29.95 by mail order. This recipe is from St. Michael's Church in Charleston, SC.
