Smokra

Smokra is pickled okra with smoked paprika, hence the name Smokra. The shape of the vegetable is like a spike or finger; it is also called Lady Finger. Okra is a warm-weather crop, and that's may be why it is most popular in the southern US, but this pickled version has no temperature limitation. Smokra can be eaten just as a snack or make it part of an appetizer plate. Smokra has a vibrant taste and firm texture, and the smoked paprika gives the okra a deep, zesty flavor. Try it in a sandwich, a stew, stir-fry, a salad or wrapped in hams as an appetizer.
