Okra in Montevideo, Uruguay
Mahalo Chicos,
Ah, something that takes me back to my childhood days, Okra cooked in so many different ways; deep fried, sauteed, curried and so much memorable flavors.
Today is Tuesday market there is a market everyday in Montevideo, Uruguay it just depends on where you live. We live in the Punta Caretas area and right around the corner on the street William there is the farmer’s market every Tuesday rain or holiday.
Close to the fish guy, well, there are two fish guys, the one nearest to the street Elluari there is a produce stand that sells Okra! Wow!
The price for said luxury is 65 pesos per kilo I purchased half a kilo as I imagine I will be the only one eating it.
Though adventuresome with “exotic flavors” as my other half may be, I highly doubt he’ll enjoy my okra dish as much as I do.
Also, I at the same said stand, the lady sells real red Jalapenos, I purchased a kilo, but I forgot how much it was. I can’t imagine that it would be any more than 35 pesos per kilo.
That’s it.
Ciao,
Odeliza Jacoba
