My favorite okra recipe is the okra popcorn my Mom used to make. Cut the okra in 1/2 inch thick slices. Dip in beaten egg, then roll in white cornmeal to which you have added a dab of flour & some salt/pepper. Fry in shallow oil (like green tomatoes), turning once. Drain on paper towels. Yum, yum!
BTW, okra tends to get slimy when it is boiled. Add it at the very last minute to soups/stews to avoid that.
