Fried okra

Ingredients

2 pounds sliced Okra
3/4 cup corn meal
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup peanut oil

Lagniappe

Pre heat oven to 350

Mix together Okra, corn meal, flour and salt in a large mixing bowl or shake
in a paper bag. The natural wetness of the Okra should make the mix stick.
If not make a very thin egg wash, and coat the Okra first.

In the meantime heat the oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat

Add the Okra to the skillet and cook till it begins to brown, about 3 to 4
minutes). Once both sides have browned and here’s the trick….

Place the Okra in the pre heated oven for about 10 minutes to finish getting
fork tender.
