  • Fried Okra

    Simple and easy side. Was going to have it with supper but it ended up as an appetizer. I cheated and bought frozen okra already breaded. Threw some S&P on it once it was done.








    Thanks for looking.

    Fried is about the only way I'll eat okra besides in gumbo. Never been a big fan of the slime. But yours looks great.

      Lookin' good. Love fried okra.

      Okra's not slimy if cooked right. We have stewed maters and okra often.

            If yer looking for the science of this..okra’s pH is “basic”. Practical demo..put a little bleach (strong base) on your finger and wash it off. Notice the “slimy” feeling that hangs around longer than like soap would?

            Well..cooking with tomato (acid) counteracts the base chemistry of okra..reducing the “slimies”.

            Soo..use okra in acidic dishes, or perhaps a vinegar soak? might help.

              That looks great Becky! I haven't had fried okra in a long thyme, and I do love it. Unfortunately, the faces we feed don't see the need.


              Drinks well with others

                Thanks for the science.... perhaps that is why it was always slimy... not enough acid. Good to know

                  Thanks, All. I was always taught that if you cook it with very high heat that will get rid of the slim. When I make gumbo I will saute it for a few minutes in a hot pan and that seems to take care of it. I have also heard you can soak in vinegar a few minutes before cooking but that I have not tried.

                  What do you say, Smoke Freak? I know y'all eat a lot of okra in the summer.

                    I say it's not cheating to use frozen okra in the winter...Not like I can stroll to the backyard and pick a few in February

                    I like it fried or grilled...The wife and son will eat it anyway they can get it...Boiled, pickled, whatever...Not for me...Heck I have seen them eat very small and fresh ones straight out of the garden...

                    Actually I have never noticed the slime thing on any cooked okra but slicing it up can get to be a snotty mess...
