Southern
Fried Okra
1 lb. (or so)
small okra pods (10-15)
1 cup cornmeal
¼ cup all-purpose
flour
1 egg, beaten
¼ cup milk
1 tsp. Texas Pete
hot sauce
Salt & Pepper
Cooking oil
Slice okra pods
into bite size pieces. The smaller the pod, the sweeter the taste. Combine milk
and egg and hot sauce. Place pods in mixture. Stir to cover all and let stand
for 15 minutes.
Heat up oil in
deep fryer or large skillet. Dredge okra pods through cornmeal mixture and deep
fry for 5-8 minutes, flipping often to brown. Serve with your favorite
condiment. Here we have Chipotle Ranch dressing and fig chutney.
