Fried Okra
Filed under
Vegetables
The directions call for House Seasoning; the salt, pepper and garlic powder here are that blend.
Ingredients
- 6 cup Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1/2 cup Cornmeal
- 1 cup Flour, all-purpose
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
- 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 2 lb Okra, fresh, sliced 1/2 inch thick
- 1/2 cup Buttermilk
Directions
- Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a large heavy skillet or Dutch oven, no more than halfway up the sides (you may not need all of it).
- Combine the cornmeal, flour, seasonings and cayenne. Dip the okra in the buttermilk, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture to coat well.
- Fry in batches until golden brown, drain on paper towels and serve immediately.
