For a milder flavor, you can blanch the sliced okra in boiling water for 1 minute before proceeding with the recipe. If the mixture seems too wet, add a bit more grits to achieve the desired consistency. Feel free to experiment with adding other vegetables or spices, such as corn, bell peppers, garlic powder, or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little kick.
