    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

    Meanwhile, sift the cornmeal into a bowl and add the
  remaining 3 cups of water.  Mix well.

  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.
