Ingredients

  • 1 pound okra
  • Buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • Essence, recipe follows
  • Oil, for frying
  • Salt and pepper

Directions

With a sharp knife, slice the okra into 1-inch slices. Season the okra with salt and pepper. Marinate the okra in buttermilk. Marinate for 30 minutes and drain. Place 1 quart of oil in a saucepan. Heat the oil. In a shallow dish, mix the flour and cornmeal together. Season the flour with Essence. Dredge the okra in the seasoned flour/cornmeal mixture, coating the okra completely. Fry the okra in the hot oil until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Fry the okra in batches. Remove the okra from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season with salt and pepper.

    This is the best fried okra I've ever had. I made the Essence seasoning, keep it in the fridge and use it all the time. These are perfect right out of the pan!

    Loved this, although I couldn't afford buttermilk, I used an egg and some milk came out just as good, fried some for a snack on a lazy saturday, me and my 2yr old looved it.

    Don't let the "slimy" texture be a turn off. It makes a nice contrast to the fried coating, much in the same way calamari is complimented by batter frying. The Essence seasoning gives this dish a great flavor.
