- Fried Okra
-
- It irks me to no end to see people who serve "fried okra" that's been
- battered and deep fried. How revolting! It's thick and really slimy.
- This is good okra. You need:
-
- - Small okra pods (the big ones get to be as tough & furry as kudzu vines)
- - corn meal mix (Corn meal mixes are made by Martha White, White Lilly &
- Jim Dandy. There are probably others, but those are the ones I
- see in the grocery store often. Corn meal mix already has flour &
- baking powder added to it. If you were making cornbread, all you would
- have to add is an egg & milk. Recently I saw White Lily flour in
- a Williams-Sonoma catalog, albeit for a significant increase
- over what it costs in the grocery store)
- - salt
- - oil ~1/2" to 1" deep in a pan
-
- Slice the okra into rounds about 1/4" wide, dredge in corn meal mix and fry.
- Salt it while it's in the pan. Drain and it should be crispy, crunchy and
- oh-so delicious.
