OKRA!

So, we went to the Farmer's Market a couple of weeks ago, and got this awesome okra. $1.50 per pound. And a pound is a LOTTA okra for one person. You know, because some people in our house don't eat it. I meant to snap a pick straight out of the bag, but forgot. Here it is after washing and trimming.


Then I boiled some up so I could snack on it while frying the rest. It was DELICIOUS!
And I snapped a photo with slime included for all those who gag at the sight. You're welcome. :)

Then I got down to serious business. I let it soak in a milk/egg bath for a few minutes, flopped it around in some seasoned cornmeal, and then dropped it in some super-hot oil.


Yield: Fried Okra. One of my top ten favorite things to eat!

    That looks awesome! If you have an extras try grilling them. Grilled okra will shock you with it's goodness. Just curious- Why did you cut off the little tips?

    A man at the Farmer's Market suggested grilling. We still need to get a grill, but I plan to try this! and I just sometimes cut off the little ends if they don't look too hot.
