Fried Okra

Not everyone has a taste for Okra - particularly if you have only eaten it boiled. I like mine fried. It is not too hard to make - can be made frozen or fresh the same way.

 

Ingredients

1 Bag Frozen Okra
2 Eggs, beaten
2 Tablespoons Flour
4 Tablespoons Corn Meal
3 Cups Vegetable Oil

 

Cooking Directions

Place cut okra in ziplock bag. Add flour to coat. Beat eggs in mixing bowl with a fork.  Add okra to eggs and coat.  Add Corn Meal.
 
Heat oil to 375 degrees.  Cook, turning occasionally, for about 15 minutes.  Drain oil.  Serve (with ketchup).
