Okra is an edible flowering plant that is extremely nutrient dense. Okra is high in fiber, folate and vitamin C. This green power plant is also an antioxidant and a good source of potassium and calcium. Okra is popular all around the world. It is fried in cornmeal batters and used to thicken gumbos in the Deep South. Okra is showcased in a lot of Indian dishes pickled, stir fried and in bhindi. The Caribbean uses okra along with seafood and cornmeal while in the Philippines it can be found steamed or boiled in salads.

VIDEO: Chocolate Strawberry Braid

All you need is 3 main ingredients to make this Chocolate Strawberry Braid for dessert tonight!

Ingredients

  • 7-9 medium-sized strawberries
  • 1 puff pastry
  • 1 chocolate bar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • Almond slivers
  • Powdered sugar

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

  3. Dust some flour on a flat surface and spread your puff pastry out on top, smoothing it into a rectangle shape if necessary.
  4. Place the bar of chocolate in the center, then top with a layer of strawberry halves.
  5. Using a pizza cutter or a knife, slice the edges of the puff pastry into strips that can be wrapped over the chocolate and strawberries. Starting with the flap at the top, fold over each strip in a slightly diagonal direction so that they resemble a braid.
  6. Brush the braid with a beaten egg yolk so that it covers the entire visible surface.
  7. Sprinkle almond slivers on top.
