Made it just as written with haricot vert instead of okra and served it as a vegetarian main entree that serves 2 - 3 people. (epicurious.com)
Substituted asparagus with haricot vert (the kind you get a Trader Joe's)... served it with baked salmon, spinach salad and a glass of Pinot Grigio... yummy!! (worththewhisk.com)
Return water to a boil and cook haricots verts in same saucepan until crisp - tender, about 2 minutes. (bonappetit.com)
