These fried okra patties are made from fresh okra and onion in a cornmeal batter. A delightful southern-style snack. Ingredients:
3 cups vegetable oil for frying |
1 pound okra, finely chopped |
1 cup finely chopped onion |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 cup water |
1 egg |
1/2 cup all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 cup cornmeal |
Directions:
1. Heat 1 inch of oil in a large skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, mix together the okra, onion, salt, pepper, water and egg. Combine the flour, baking powder and cornmeal; and stir that into the okra mixture.
3. Carefully drop spoonfuls of the okra batter into the hot oil, and fry on each side until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon, and drain on paper towels.
