Fried okra

[waterman]

Started cooking it cut length wise instead of cross wise. Like it LOTS better cooked this way

You done flung a cravin' on me! I don't have any fresh okree to split so it's gonna be the frozen commercially sliced stuff

They serve okra fries at an Indian reastaurant in Asheville NC….goood!

 

[Carlos]

I've never tried that, what a different idea.

 

[Big Pop]

Yeah been thinking about trying it that way. Looks good!

There's a restaurant I Birmingham that serves okra similar to this. I don't believe they split it into 2 pieces, just slice into it and pull it open for breading and frying. It may be Saw's that has this.

Love it fried and also grilled....we've grilled it split length wise and have grilled it whole but will need to try it fried split legnth wise...looks delicious.

Never had it that way, that looks pretty dang good.

Split and roasted with olive oil and garlic, finished with parm cheese. Like it any way but slimy lol.

We cook all our okra split down the middle too. Love it that way.

There's a West African restaurant near my shop that does whole fried okra. They turn out great too.

I started doing mine like this, cut off the woody stem end, slice lengthwise, and shake in a paper bag with yellow cornmeal, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and cayenne. Deep fry in the electric fryer, loosen the belt!!

If you don't have fresh get some "fresh frozen " brand. Un floured. Thaw it on counter, place in colander over sink, sprinkle flour on it as you shake it up. Fry it and you can't tell it's frozen.

I like Okra a lot but I must say that when you pick it small (like 2 inches small) and brush with olive oil, then put Tony Chacheries on it... Grill it and eat it whole. Man is it good....

 

[redblood]

love okra----- but it has to be garden fresh and picked small

 

[OakHillHunter]

That will be an idea for this weekend! Our garden hasn't done good as a whole but our okra sure did!

We've picked them for a week, and I had enough to fry a batch the other night. Did it lenghtwise like this, and it was really a hit.

Also, I opened up the carton of buttermilk and it had gone bad. So I spooned a dollop of Greek yogurt, splashed some milk in, and whisked it around with some salt & pepper. It worked great, especially when it combined with the okra slime. The cornmeal coating stuck like a champ

 

[Antler Daddy]

i need some okra

 

[DoubleRidge]

Picking okra daily...love it fried and love it grilled...several bags pre-breaded in the freezer.

My okra wasn't worth anything this year, I was really suprised. Usually I have a bunch of it. I got enough to fry a batch then just pulled it up and chalked it up as a loss.
