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.
