Steps:
- Wash the okra and gently rub to remove the outer fuzz. Trim off the stem, leaving the cap intact.
- Sprinkle the garlic with 1/2 teaspoon salt and crush with the back of a knife until smooth. Place in a large skillet and add 1 1/84 cup water, 1 tablespoon of the oil and a generous grinding of pepper. Mix well, add the okra and mix again.
- Place the skillet over medium-high heat, cover tightly and cook for 4 minutes, occasionally shaking the pan. Remove the okra to a serving platter and drizzle with pan juices and the remaining olive oil. Adjust the seasoning and serve at once with lemon wedges.
