A recipe from the Atlanta Journal Constitution. I wonder how the recipe would work with frozen okra...
Ingredients:
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
5 -7 drops tabasco sauce
2 lbs fresh okra
6 slices uncooked bacon
Directions:
1. Wash and dry okra. Cut okra into 1/2 inch rounds.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly oil bottom of 9x13 inch baking dish.
3. Combine cornmeal, flour, salt, pepper and Tabasco sauce in a large plastic bag. Add okra and shake to coat.
4. Arrange okra in baking dish in two layers. Top with bacon pieces. Bake for 20 minutes. Then stir lightly to make sure all pieces come in contact with bacon. Bake 5 to 10 minutes more, until bacon is browned and okra is crispy on the outside.
