If you like okra.this is really good.

 

Fried Okra:

 

10 Pods Okra, Sliced In 1/4-in. Pieces

1 Egg, Beaten

1 Cup Cornmeal

1/4 Tsp. Salt-(Or To Taste)

1/4 Tsp. Ground Black Pepper-(Or To Taste)

Cayenne Pepper/Creole Seasoning To Taste-(Opt.)

1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil

 

In a small bowl, soak okra in egg for 16-17 minutes. In a medium bowl, combine Cornmeal, Salt, Ground Black Pepper, Cayenne Pepper and/or Creole Seasoning if using.

 

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

 

Dredge okra in the cornmeal mixture, coating evenly. Carefully place okra in hot oil; stir continuously. Reduce heat to medium when okra first starts to brown, and cook until golden. Drain on paper towels.

 

***The last time I made this, I used a skillet...will use my deep-fat fryer next time.
