Ingredients:

  • 1 lb cornmeal , medium grind
  • 1/2-3/4 lb okra, sliced
  • 3 pints water
  • 1/2 oz salt

Directions:

  1. Boil okra in 2 pints water for 45 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and pour entire contents into a bowl.
  3. Put cornmeal, 1 pint cold water and salt into a saucepan and cook over low heat for 25 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
  4. Drain water from okra at five-minute intervals, adding it to the meal.
  5. At the same time, gradually add some of the meal to the okra.
  6. This process should continue for 30-45 minutes, depending on the consistency desired.
  7. The longer cooking period will produce a thicker CooKoo.
