okra in the kitchen

I know for sure that I have used okra in several recipes, cannot find any pictures right now.  I've grown it in my vegetable garden, but I've also bought it in the frozen vegetable department where it is already pre-cut like in Pic6.

I have borrowed a few pictures from the internet for your inspiration:
