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
Cold water
Cornmeal
Vegetable oil for frying

 

Preparation

Start by placing the sliced Okra in a sizable bowl. Sprinkle some salt over it and cover it with cold water. Let it rest in the refrigerator for an hour to enhance its flavor. Now, take some cornmeal in another bowl for dredging. Drain and roll it in the cornmeal, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Next, fill a deep skillet with oil, about half an inch in depth. Heat the skillet to 350°F; once it’s hot enough, fry the Okra in batches until it turns golden brown. Remove the fried pieces from the skillet and drain them on a paper towel to soak up any excess oil. Finally, sprinkle some salt over them and serve them immediately to enjoy their crispy texture and savory taste.
