Pete’s Okra Patties

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

This looks like a nice twist on traditional fried okra. What is the dipping sauce in the picture?

Being from the south I’ve always eaten my fried okra like popcorn so I was a little skeptical as to whether I would enjoy it fried in a patty.

I cooked this recipe last night and it was a nice change for fried okra. Next time I may add a few bacon bits with a hint of Parmesan and make it a meal.

For Pete’s sake, you have to try this recipe. I only had enough okra to make half a batch, which is a good thing because I am eating it all right now! I added a little shredded co-jack cheese to one when it was draining, because I believe cheese can improve everything, but it certainly wasn’t necessary or even an improvement here. These are perfect as is. They are reminiscent of plain fried okra, but much easier, and the addition of the onion really makes them shine. Next time (and there definitely will be a next time) I will add a touch of cayenne pepper to kick it up a notch. Honest to Pete, this is the best okra recipe I’ve tried yet!
