Description

Ingredients

• 10-12 pods of okra, sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2/3 cup cornmeal
• 1/3 cup flour
• 1 1/2 tbsp sugar
• 1/8-1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/2 to 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup hot sauce
• 1/4 cup cold, unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
• 1/2 tbsp vinegar
• 2-3 dashes of Worcestershire sauce
• 1/8 tsp ground cayenne pepper
• Salt, to taste

Directions

• In a small bowl, soak the okra in the beaten egg for 5 to 10 minutes. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
• While the okra slices are soaking, prepare the Buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the hot sauce, butter, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, & cayenne pepper. Heat over medium heat stirring often until the butter has melted. Whisk until smooth. Season with salt to taste, & then set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. (I fried the okra in a 12-inch cast iron skillet & used about 1 cup of oil.) Dredge the okra slices in the cornmeal mixture, coating evenly. Carefully place the okra in hot oil; stir continuously. Reduce heat to medium when okra first starts to brown, and cook until golden. Drain on paper towels. Then immediately toss the fried okra in the Buffalo sauce.
• Serve immediately with celery, blue cheese, & Ranch dressing, if desired.
• Enjoy!
