Guest guest Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 The Perfect Fried Okra this is the absolute best fried okra recipe. it turns out crispy (and not slimy at all) everytime. i recommend this for anyone who has never tried okra before, or who thinks they don't like okra. after having okra fried this way, you will love it. The Perfect Fried Okra 1 pound fresh okra 1 quart water 1/4 cup salt cornmeal oil for frying Wash okra well; drain. Cut off stems and tips. Cut into small pieces. Combine salt and water. Soak okra in salt water for 30 minutes. Drain okra, rinse well (it will be slimy) and drain again (it will still be somewhat slimy, but that's ok because it will allow the cornmeal to adhere). Roll in cornmeal. Fry in batches in hot oil until golden and crisp. ______________________________\ ____ Sucker-punch spam with award-winning protection.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 I guess anything, even okra, tstes better when it's rolled in some kind of batter/crumbs and fried! I try to avoid fried foods, so I probably won't attempt this. If I'm going to have something fried, I'll stick to a tried & true food! Just a couple of years ago I never would have touched Brussels sprouts, zucchini, yellow squash (or any squash at all - summer or winter, turnips and a whole lot more. I now I eat all of those things and am mad that I've been missing out all these years! My mother made a lot of different veggies when I was growing up but I wouldn't eat most of them, even though I never tried them. She didn't push me and if I didn't want the veggies she prepared for a meal it meant I had less to eat. My mother won't touch okra, either! -- Liz --- " artichoke72x " <artichoke72x wrote: > The Perfect Fried Okra > > this is the absolute best fried okra recipe. it > turns > out crispy (and not slimy at all) everytime. i > recommend this for anyone who has never tried okra > before, or who thinks they don't like okra. after > having okra fried this way, you will love it. > > The Perfect Fried Okra > > 1 pound fresh okra > 1 quart water > 1/4 cup salt > cornmeal > oil for frying > > Wash okra well; drain.
