Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 5 minutes

1 pound fresh okra
1 tablespoon dark (Asian style) sesame oil or extra virgin olive oil

Preheat the grill to high. Trim the tips off the stems of the okra, but do
not cut into the pods. Lay 5 pieces of okra side by side in a neat row at
the edge of a cutting board. Skewer crosswise with 2 bamboo skewers, one at
the top, one at the bottom. Lightly brush the skewered okra with sesame oil
and season with salt and pepper. Grill the okra until tender and lightly
browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side, turning once with a flat spatula. Serve
the okra at once, letting each guest remove the skewers.
