Fried Okra in Cornmeal
Description
I positively love this recipe. The cornmeal adds an extra crunch to the okra and it pairs nicely with Buttermilk Fried Chicken.
Ingredients
1 lb fresh okra
2 eggs
1/2 & 1 tsp salt
Oil for frying
1.25 cups cornmeal
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne
Serves 4-6.
Steps
1. Preheat deep fryer to 375 degrees.
2. Trim okra stems and tips and cut into 1/2 inch rounds.
3. Lightly beat the eggs with ½ tsp salt and soak okra in this for 10 minutes.
4. In a bag or bowl, mix cornmeal, flour, and 1 tsp salt, pepper, and cayenne. Add okra to coat.
5. Ad okra to fryer and cook until golden brown. Cool and serve.
