Fresh (frozen) okra

Ever put up fresh okra out of the garden? If so then you know how yucky it normally tastes when you try to cook it. Well I got a secret that a sister of one of the little down syndrome guys I use to take care of told me about. Its awesome.

Okay, so first off, freeze the okra whole. Just wash it and throw it in the bag, dont cut anything off.

Now when you go to cook it, cut it up frozen, and crack you an egg over it along with a tad of milk. Not much, just what you would use to coat it with anyway. Allow it to thaw in the bowl, with the egg and milk mixture in it. Mix you up some flour/cornmeal/salt and pepper mix, and set aside. Get your deep fryer going, and have that oil hot, about 400-450 degrees hot.

Now, take the cut okra out by a handful at a time, bread in your flour mixture, and then drop in the fryer. The breading sticks.. the okra gets soft just like it is straight out of the garden. My husband loves this stuff. Just wanted to share it with you.
