New Finds: Smoked Pickled Okra

Published on Friday, September 18, 2009, by Lessley Anderson / Edit Post

I wanted to try the much-raved-about Rick’s Picks line of pickles from NYC and, as I can’t resist okra in any form, Smokra was a great choice. It’s smoky as hell thanks to smoked paprika, and it really makes my lunchtime salads fun. A no-brainer for a Bloody Mary, and I imagine quite delicious on top of polenta.

Smokra, $12.99 for a 15-ounce bottle

  • Yeah,but the brine is so fabulously flavored you can (and I do!) use it two or more times to pickle raw veggies. I make a great spicy, smokey slaw out of cabbage wedges that I cram back into the bottle...

  • The title is deceptive.
    The product label says "Pickled Okra with Smoked Paprika".
    One could add smoked paprika to a much less expensive bottle
    of pickled okra. Editors take note!

  • the only thing that makes it "smoked" is the paprika? then the $13 price tag is pretty hefty compared with other pickled okras. http://www.talkotexas.com/products.html
