Weirdly, I craved okra when I was pregnant with my second child but by the time I cooked it, the thought of eating it made me queasy, lol! A lot of okra cooked and not eaten during that time.

Oh so yummy! Hoping this combo will freeze well, too.

Will be freezing several batches of okra , so we can serve fried okra at Thanksgiving this year. Hope it will taste like it does fresh!
My method of doing fried okra is to take a pound of okra, wash it, drain and pat dry. Cut it 1/2 inch, then in a clean mixer bowl( no grease) Place two egg whites, that are whipped to soft, firm  peaks. Then back to large bowl that contains the cut okra that you have coated with 3 tablespoons of flour and  excess flour removed, you will then stir the beaten egg whites over floured okra so all is covered, and then stir in  a cup and a half of Panko bread crumbs to cover and coat the okra. Fry in batches in plenty of oil that is deep enough to fry quickly and brown, then lift it out with slotted utensil to paper towel lined bowl, then sprinkle with salt, and then I move that cooked batch to a warm pan lined with parchment in a warm oven to keep warm as you finish the rest of the okra. Really wonderful way to prepare fried okra. Hope you all try it

Discovered this secrete is much better than milk!

I grow okra but normally don’t have enough to make a recipe at once. Going to try this in small batches. Thanks!

Leave it frozen run some water on it then it on cornmeal and flour mix on it. Make Sure The Oil Is Hot And Use Enough. I do flash freeze on cookie sheet first and keep in ziplocks then can pour out what you need

I just shake mine in a cornmeal/flour mixture. I’ve never dipped them in an egg/milk mixture first.

I was wondering when you are breading should you dip in a egg/milk mixture before breading or is that not recommended? Thanks 🙂
