OKRA PILAU
Pilaus are a staple of the low country SC kitchen. The only problem with preparing them is that is essential that you have a rice steamer. A rice steamer works like a double boiler except that it allows steam to enter the top part of the device. If you Google "Charleston Rice Steamer" several sites will appear where you can purchase one of these. Target has one for $29.95 by mail order. This recipe is from St. Michael's Church in Charleston, SC.
