This bean and okra recipe is a classic Southern side dish perfect for potlucks. Adding the okra toward the end of cooking guarantees a tender--not mushy--texture.

In Japanese thermal cooker Doing the recipe up to the point of adding okra and placing it into a Japanese thermal cooker is superb. Add okra in the last hour (hour 5+?) prevents mushiness. Never was better on the Berkley Hundred, my families ancestral home in Tidewater Virginia. Black-eyed peas came to Virginia with the slaves. Jeez, could they COOK! Pros: Long cooking with no energy input Cons: Not fast
