In the South, okra is every where. I threw together this recipe when trying to come up with something different. When I make this for the kids, I leave out the tomatoes and onion. Ingredients:
2 pounds fresh okra, sliced in 1/8 inch pieces |
1 large tomato, diced |
1 onion, diced |
6 packets instant grits |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
salt and black pepper to taste |
1/2 cup oil for frying, or as needed |
Directions:
1. Combine okra, tomato, and onion in a large bowl. Add the grits, eggs, salt, and pepper and blend together using your hands.
2. Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Form patties 2 1/2 inches in diameter, about 1/2 the size of a hamburger. Place the fritter in the pan and cook until golden brown, about five minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook until browned on the other side, about five minutes more. Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.
