Description

Lightly breaded crispy-fresh okra cooked Southern style.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Fresh Okra
  • 1 cup Cornmeal, Self-rising
  • ¼ cups Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
  • 2 cups Canola Oil

Preparation

Heat oil in large skillet until very hot.

Slice off pod end of okra. Cut okra into 1/2 inch pieces. Rinse the pieces in a colander.

In a large bowl, mix cornmeal, flour, salt and pepper. Add okra and toss well to coat. Scoop the okra into a slotted spoon and shake off excess breading. Add to hot skillet and fry 5-6 minutes or until crispy golden. Remove with slotted spoon to a paper towel lined platter or basket. Sprinkle with additional salt, if desired.

Very easy. I used frozen okra and let it defrost for a little while in the colander before frying. Probably needs a little more salt/cayenne in the batter though.
