PICKELD OKRA SANDWICHES

  THIS JUST SEEMED SUPER INTERESTING.  I'M ALWAYS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO DO WITH OKRA BESIDES FRY IT OR PUT IN INTO A SOUP.

Ingredients

• 1 (24 oz) loaf sliced white bread
• 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 (16 oz) jar pickled okra
• 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

Preparation

Remove crusts from bread. With a rolling pin, roll slices very thin. Coat each slice with cream cheese and place an okra spear in center; roll up. Spread a light coat of cream cheese on each rolled-up sandwich (I like to use my fingers to spread the cream cheese). Roll sandwich in finely chopped parsley. Cut in half, if desired.
