Okra (Frozen Vegetables) for 100

Servings: 100 Portions
Portions: 1/2 Cup Each

18 lb. Okra, frozen
1 gallon water
2 cups (1 lb) butter or margaine
2 cups reserved cooking liquid

Place vegetables in steam-jacketed kettle or stock pot.

Add hot water to barely cover or as indicated.

Add 1 teaspoon salt for each quart of water.

Bring to a boil; cover.

Reduce heat; cook gently for 3 to 5 minutes or until vegetable is just tender.

Drain; place vegetables in serving pan.

Combine melted butter or margarine and cooking liquid. Pour an equal amount over
cooked vegetables. Garnish as desired.

NOTE:
Cooking time refers to time after water has returned to second boil.

Use progressive cooking for vegetables. Calculate cooking time; schedule preparation
for quantity needed at 30 minute intervals; usually no more than a 50 portion batch
should be cooked at a time.

Tap vegetable packages lightly to break up solid blocks. Partially thaw spinach and
other leafy green vegetables.

To prevent breaking up, asparagus, broccoli, brussels sprouts and cauliflower should
be placed in a wire basket for immersion in boiling water. Serve 2 to 3 broccoli stalks,
4 to 6 brussels sprouts (depending on size) or 3 to 4 cauliflower pieces per serving.
