SunSeekingNomad

Coconut oil, duck fat, ghee or clarified butter, as needed (see notes)

1 lb fresh okra

Sea salt, to taste

Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste

1 large shallot

½ tsp smoked paprika

Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes

10 oz cherry tomatoes (1 pint)

Squeeze of fresh lemon juice or splash of apple cider vinegar

1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)

* Notes: Because the okra needs to be cooked at extremely high temperatures to develop a proper char, you'll need to use a cooking fat that won't burn. If you're keeping things vegan, refined coconut oil is a great choice and will add a nice flavor. Otherwise, I highly suggest giving healthy fats like duck fat or ghee a try. You could substitute a neutral cooking oil like grape seed oil, but you may want to stir in a pat of butter or drizzle some extra virgin olive oil at the end to make up for the lack in flavor. note: Notes: Because the okra needs to be cooked at extremely high temperatures to develop a proper char, you'll need to use a cooking fat that won't burn.
