Grilled okra skewers
If you use wooden skewers, let them soak in water first so they don’t burn when you grill them.
Mix the seasalt, limezest and sugar in a small bowl.
Mix the ingredients for the miso sauce in a bowl until it gets smooth. Keep one teaspoon roasted sesame seeds aside to garnish.
Wash the okra and remove the stems. Put the okra onto the skewers. Heat up a grill pan or barbecue over medium heat. Sprinkle some olive oil over the okra. Then grill the okra skewers on both sides for about 3 minutes till they are lightly blistered and cooked through. Make sure the okra stays crispy.
Sprinkle the skewers with lime salt and sesame seeds to taste.
Dip in the miso sauce and enjoy!

Okra
Okra is a delicious, tropical vegetable. It has a nice, fresh, green colour and a spicy flavour which is perfect to add more flavour to dishes. A funny fact is that the English gave the nickname: Lady Fingers to okra because of the long shape of this vegetable.
