Yes Yes Yes.:yes:
At work on Saturdays they have what they call theme night. One night it is what their idea of Cajun night is. What they dont mess up is the fried okra. I can eat the stuff by the hand fulls cold or hot I dont care all it needs is salt and pepper and I'm good to go.:love: We wont talk about the gumbo.:no: Worth |
What's your batter? I like onion ring batter.

Soak in Buttermilk and egg mix for 30 minutes in the fridge Coat with 1/2 and 1/2 corn meal and flour with some Cajun and Cayenne seasoning added in Fry in bacon grease until brown Dip in some Ranch dressing...Yummmmmm! |
Looks good, sounds good: It has to be good. I like it also with a bit of soy sauce. YUM YUM.
JON:yes: |
The 30 minute pre-soak in batter is a new idea to me. My own batter recipes tend to have a hard time sticking. I will try that. Thanks.

This also works great for fried chicken Soak the same way or a few hours if you want and then dredge in the same 50/50 mix of cornmeal and flour or just flour. All I put in the flour mix is garlic powder, salt and black pepper. If you like red pepper put it on after the chicken is cooked so it doesn't burn. Buttermilk also makes a killer gravy.:yes: Worth |

But not this time.......:no::no::no::no::no::no::no: I say this from experience. Mom, traditionally trained in southern cooking by my grandmother Miss Rhetha....traditionally trained in southern cooking by her mother Momma Mary...traditionally trained in southern cooking by...........well you get the idea, generations of the best southern cooking known to mankind. (yes Miss Rhetha had published recipes), thought she would bring a new innovation..buttermilk gravy......HUGE mistake. EPIC failure!!!!!!!:?: My Mom bless her soul had a good theory. Buttermilk biscuits are traditional favorite. Everyone in our family could and often did pour out a glass of just buttermilk and drink it down. Especially Dad drank a lot of it. Why wouldn't Buttermilk gravy work?:?!?: Well, even the dog wouldn't eat it. And this is a dog that would wolf down anything!:twisted: So go back to fried okra. I can get behind you there. But buttermilk gravy? I'll pass.:no: |
Well Scott you haven't had mine I wont go through the details but it is good.
People have no idea how I make gravy. Lol Worth |
Dear Heloise Helpful Hints.....for Okra, Heloise recommended Round-up and it worked like
a champ. |
/me puts alpinejs on the ignore list for ruining perfectly good okra.
Alpine must have grown up in some furrin country like Minnesota. |
fried okra IS good but, if someone tried hard they could likely mess it up. It is very good stirfried with your favorite seasonings.
jon:yes::yes: |
Okra makes good compost.

We love fried okra here, maybe the only ones in northern Iowa.

I sometimes put okra in while making pasta sauce. Always looking for a thickener, and the okra slime works.:yes:
