A Fat Tuesday Feast

Ah, Mardi Gras. The one day of the year when it’s not only OK to indulge – it’s expected. Creole cuisine is decadent by nature, so on this last hurrah of a feast, dishes are spared no caloric limitations. Drape yourself in beads, throw on a glittered mask and pick up a fork: This issue of Galavante is heading to the Big Easy for the biggest party on the planet. Right now, we’re focusing on our fried okra recipe.

Fried Okra Recipe:

With a slightly slimy texture, Okra is an acquired taste. Enjoying them fried is the perfect introduction.

Serves 4–6

Prep time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients:

1 lb okra pods, stems removed, sliced 1/4-inch thick
Kosher salt
