Total Time 20 minutes

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 0S

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb.

fresh okra pods

2

eggs

1 1/2 tsp.

kosher salt

Vegetable oil, for frying

1 1/4 c.

yellow cornmeal

1/4 c.

all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp.

ground black pepper

1/4 tsp.

ground cayenne pepper, optional

Steps:

  • Trim the stems and thin tips from the fresh okra pods. Cut the okra crosswise into ½-inch pieces. 
  • In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs with ½ teaspoon salt. Add the okra and mix well to coat with the egg. Let soak for 10 minutes.
  • Heat ¾-inch of vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375˚.  
  • Meanwhile, in a gallon-sized zip-top bag, combine the cornmeal, flour, remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, black pepper, and cayenne (if using). Seal the bag and toss to combine.
  • Once the oil is ready, remove the okra from the egg mixture with a slotted spoon, draining off as much egg as possible, and add to the bag with the breading. Seal the bag, trapping some air inside, and toss well to coat the okra. Working in two batches, add the okra to the skillet and fry until golden brown all over, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon or spider to transfer the okra to a paper towel-lined plate. Finish with a sprinkle of kosher salt, if desired.

MARTHA ROSE SHULMAN'S ROASTED OKRA RECIPE - NYT COOKING
My friend Marian Schwartz gave me the idea to roast okra. It’s an ingenious strategy: No need to marinate the okra in salt and vinegar beforehand -- it develops a wonderful seared flavor in the hot oven, and it won’t be gooey.

OKRA GUMBO RECIPE - BON APPéTIT
This recipe is one of our favorites from Toni Tipton-Martin’s Jubilee, our November 2019 Cookbook Club pick. The author describes her approach to this deeply flavorful stew as a diasporic gumbo influenced by recipes from West Africa, island, Lowcountry, and Louisiana. The result is a rich, warming broth punctuated by succulent shrimp, juicy hunks of beef, and crisp-tender okra you’ll want to cozy up with all winter long. Tipton-Martin recommends sautéing the okra over high heat to that the pods ooze less.
