For a deeper flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika along with the cayenne pepper. If fresh okra is available, use about 1 pound, trimmed and sliced, instead of frozen. Adjust cooking time accordingly. This dish pairs well with grilled fish, chicken, or as part of a vegetarian meal alongside rice or quinoa.
