GRANNY'S FRIED OKRA



Granny's Fried Okra image

I've been meaning to post this one for a while. My husbands grandmother who everyone calls Granny makes the BEST fried okra. Couple of years ago I told her I wanted to watch her make some fried okra so I could learn. She of course didn't measure any ingredients so I've had a hard time trying to figure out how to post this. So the...

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

a bunch of fresh okra (not frozen)
2 parts self rising cornmeal ( not the yellow stuff)
1 part all purpose flour
a pinch of cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste
vegetable oil
NOTE: I USUALLY START OFF USING 1 CUP OF CORNMEAL AND 1/2 CUP OF FLOUR. I ADD MORE WHEN NEEDED.

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse the okra off in a strainer.
  • 2. Chop up okra into bite size pieces removing the head and the tip of the tail. Just throw those 2 pieces away.
  • 3. If you like a thicker breading like in the picture then place the okra in a bowl with water in it. This helps to bring out the slime and the breading sticks to it better. (yes I said slime, you will see what I'm talking about in a minute) After you soak the okra for about 2 minutes or so, drain them and set aside.
  • 4. Dredge the okra in the flour mixture and throw those bad boys in the fryer.
  • 5. *If you don't like your breading too thick then do not put your okra back into the water after it is cut. Just dredge into the flour mixture and throw them into the fryer without crowding too much.
  • 6. Fry the okra in oil at 375 degrees for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. If you don't have a fryer then place them in oil in a deep frying pan and cook over med- medium high heat till golden brown, turning when necessary.
  • 7. Drain on a paper towel and sprinkle with salt.
  • 8. *TIP: you don't want your whole okras much more than 3 inches long. The bigger okras tend to be too hard and do not fry up very well. You can also squeeze them and see how hard they are.

GRANDMA'S FRIED OKRA AND POTATOES

The cornmeal adds a nice texture to these. This dish doesn't last more than a few minutes at my house. It's great!

Time 20m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb fresh okra
2 large potatoes
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1/4-1/2 cup bacon drippings (or you can use vegetable oil, but it won't taste as good!)

Steps:

  • Wash okra and cut off stem ends. Cut in about ½-inch pieces. Peel potatoes and chop into ½-inch dice. Put okra and potatoes in large bowl. Add chopped onion to mixture. Sprinkle cornmeal, salt and pepper over mixture. Stir until cornmeal is evenly distributed throughout mixture.
  • Heat drippings or oil in large skillet over medium heat (oil should be hot, but not smoking hot). Carefully spoon okra/potato mixture into hot oil. Fry, turning mixture occasionally, until potatoes are done and mixture is nicely browned, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Makes enough for 4 or 5 hungry people.
