use frozen okra, throw it in the last 10 minutes or so before your serve

Don't use okra
I use okra and it doesn't come out slimy
I usually put it in a few minutes after the trinity

Ive got frozen ready, so just toss it in at the end?

Cook it down with the trinity till you can't recognize it

This. I start out w frozen and process or dice it down to small pieces. Like maybe the size of a green pea.
When my gumbo is done, the only remnants of okra you can see ar the seeds. And no slime.

If fresh okra, cook it separately to point of doneness, strain it and warm that water for a few minutes, then strain and rinse it again, the gumbo pot.

or just reduce the amount of okra you use.
It doesn't take much.

Fry it in a tiny bit of oil....Until it quits "stringing"....Keep it moving so it want burn.~ Add it early in the cooking process....
