FRIED OKRA

 

Cathie


INGREDIENTS:


1 pound okra
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons salt to taste
2 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground

1) Wash the okra in cold water and drain. Cut it into 1/2-inch slices and
remove the stems.
2) Heat half the oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add half
te okra and spread it into an even layer with a spatula. Sprinkle with salt
and pepper. Fry, turning the okra with a spoon to cook evenly, until the
okra is tender, crispy, and well browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper
towels. Repeat with remaining oil and okra and serve hot.
