Remove the stems and slice the okras diagonally into 1/4-inch rings. In a
heavy saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Add the okra, hot pepper &
salt to taste. Boil for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, sift the cornmeal into a bowl and add the remaining 3 cups of
water. Mix well.
Remove the saucepan from heat and combine mixture. Return to medium heat
stirring frequently until the mixture is smooth and thick. Turn out onto a
plate and spread the butter on top. Serve hot. Yield: 6 servings Notes from
cookbook: Cou-cou means side dish, and although it is chiefly served as an
accompaniment to fish-especially flying fish in Barbados-it can be served
with other fish or meat dishes.
