Ok so I know I am a true "southern" girl. I made fried okra last night for the very first time. It was so delicious. Here's how it was done- in case you feel like giving it a try. Buy raw Okra from the store. Wash it and cut off both ends, then cut it up into chunks. Take two large baggies. In one pour a mixture of scrammbled eggs and milk. In the other pour flour, salt, pepper and cajun seasonings. First put all okra bits into bag with egg mixture and shake it up till all peices are coated evenly. Next put the wet okra into the bag with flour mixture. Shake it all up again till all peices are coated with the flour. Heat up olive oil on high heat in pan- you will need it to be at least 1/2 inch deep. Place a spoonfull of prepared okra in pan and enjoy the sizzle. Once it starts to brown remove okra and place it on a plate with a paper towel over it. Salt hot Okra immediatly. Repeat till all okra is cooked. This was so yummy. If you try it- let me know how it turns out. It was pretty easy and really fun to cook!
