This is truly a southern dish. Ingredients:
1 pound fresh okra |
1 cup yellow corn meal |
1/2 cup all-vegetable shortening |
salt and pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. RINSE okra. Remove caps. Cut pods into one-half inch slices. Toss with cornmeal.
2. HEAT shortening to 365ºF in electric skillet or over medium-high heat in large heavy skillet. Fry single layer of okra about 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown on all sides, turning carefully. Do not overcook or okra will become too soft.
3. DRAIN on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
