A Great Vegetable without all the frying! A recipe for when the summer garden is plentiful! A side dish which goes well with any meal. We enjoyed fried okra when growing up, Ingredients:
1 lb fresh okra |
1 egg |
1/4 cup buttermilk |
2/3 cup cornmeal |
1/3 cup all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
vegetable oil cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Wash okra and drain. Remove tips and stem ends. Cut okra crosswise into 1/2 inch slices.
2. Combine egg and buttermilk. Add okra, stirring to coat well. Let stand 10 minutes.
3. Combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt in a zip-top plastic bag.
4. Drain okra. With small portions at a time, using a slotted spoon, place okra in bag with cornmeal mixture, shaking gently to coat.
5. Brush oil on a 15x10x1 inch jellyroll pan; add okra in a single layer.
6. Coat okra with cooking spray and bake in a 450 degree oven for 8 minutes. Stir well and spray with cooking spray again; baking 8 additional minutes. After last baking, broil 4 inches from heat (with electric oven door partially opened) 5 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally.
