Okra is one of those vegetables I never cooked before working my way through Simply in Season. But I’ve come to enjoy it. This is a super simple recipe that’s a great side dish.
Ingredients:
1/2 C cornmeal
1 tsp salt
1/4 C Parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 tsp chili powder
3 C okra (sliced)
2/3 C milk
Directions:
- Combine cornmeal, salt, cheese, and chili powder in a bowl.
- Dip the okra in milk and then roll in the cornmeal mixture.
- Fry in a little bit of oil until golden brown.
The Verdict: I really liked the cornmeal coating, and the okra still tasted fresh even after the frying. Overall it’s a very satisfying side dish.
