Side Pannel
Fried Okra
Ingredients List
- 1 1/2 lb Fresh okra
- 1 Egg; beaten
- 2 tb Water
- 1 c Cornmeal
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Oil for pan-frying (bacon
- -grease is traditional for
- -this but peanut oil works
- -fine. Olive oil is
- -delicious with this!)
Directions
Some good things take time. (Oh, I sound like a cheap wine commercial.)
In the case of okra I know of no way to get to this delicious vegetable
except through slow and proper cooking. Every black cook agrees with me, I
am sure. So, calm down and be prepared for okra that is wonderful and
tasty. And no, it will not be "slippery."
Cut the tops off the okra and cut into 1/2-inch slices. Mix the egg with
2 tablespoons water and toss with the okra. Add the cornmeal and salt and
pepper. Mix well so that all pieces are coated. Pan-fry in a bit of oil
over medium heat. Shake so that the pieces separate and brown evenly on
both sides. You may have to do this in 2 batches.
This dish must be cooked slowly and carefully so that the okra dries out
a bit in the cooking.
