Deep-fried pickled okra

12 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 pounds Pickled okra
2 Eggs
½ cup Milk
1 teaspoon Hot pepper sauce
½ cup White flour
½ cup Yellow cornmeal
Peanut oil for frying

Directions

PREPARATION: Drain okra. Beat eggs, milk, and hot red pepper sauce together until well blended. Dredge okra in flour, dip into egg mixture, and then dredge in yellow cornmeal. Put breaded okra on a baking sheet.

Recipe can be made to this point several hours ahead.

COOKING AND SERVING: In a deep-fryer or large, heavy pot, heat about 4 inches of peanut oil to 375°F. Carefully lower okra into hot oil in batches. Cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve warm.

NOTES : A spicy side dish for roasts. Pickled okra is a staple of the Southern pantry. You can buy it in jars at most supermarkets.
