Okra Patties Recipes

OKRA PATTIES

Steps:

• Heat 1 inch of oil in a large skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, mix together the okra, onion, salt, pepper, water and egg. Combine the flour, baking powder and cornmeal; and stir that into the okra mixture.
• Carefully drop spoonfuls of the okra batter into the hot oil, and fry on each side until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon, and drain on paper towels.

OKRA FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl with a spoon mix together all ingredients except okra and oil. Fold in the okra. Heat the oil in a large skillet. Drop by spoonfuls into the hot oil. (I use a 1/4 cup measuring cup for each fritter). Fry on one side about 2 minutes or until good and crusty, turn and fry the other side. Drain on paper towels. Slather with butter and enjoy

OKRA PATTIES

Steps:

• In a large pot boil some water (enough to put the okra in). Add the salt and vinegar.
• Put the okra in the boiling water, and boil until it's tender. Drain well and cool.
• In the meantime, in a large bowl, beat eggs with seasonings. Add okra when it's cool or not more than warm. You don't want the eggs to cook from the heat from the okra.
• Add enough flour to make a soupy consistency.
• Heat oil in a large skillet on medium to medium high heat.
• Drop about 1/4 cup at a time into the skillet to form a patty. Make sure you stir the mixture before you scoop to put it in the skillet. Everything settles to the bottom of the bowl.
• Fry until each side is deep golden brown.

OKRA FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a large, heavy skillet, heat oil over medium. In a medium bowl, combine flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add okra and onion and toss to coat. In a small bowl, whisk together egg and buttermilk. Add to okra mixture and stir just until combined.
• In two batches, drop batter in 2-tablespoonful mounds into oil. With a small spatula or butter knife, gently flatten each mound and fry until golden, about 4 minutes per side, flipping once (adjust heat if browning too quickly). Drain on paper towels. Season with salt and serve warm. Makes about 10.

PETE'S OKRA PATTIES

Steps:

• Combine cut okra, onion, salt, pepper, water and egg. Mix well. Combine flour, baking powder, cornmeal and garlic powder. Add to okra mixture, stirring well. Drop about 1/4 cup portions into about 1/2" hot oil. Fry over medium heat until well browned on both sides. Drain on paper towels.

OKRA PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and the baking powder. Whisk to combine. In a second bowl, whisk together the egg and 1/2 cup water. Stir the egg mixture into the dry ingredients. (It should resemble the texture of loose mashed potatoes; if not, add a little more water.)
• In a small bowl, combine the onion and okra. Season with remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and the pepper. Toss to combine, and fold into the batter.
• In a cast-iron skillet, heat 1/2 to 1 inch of oil to 340 degrees. Working in batches so as not to crowd the pan, spoon the batter by heaping teaspoons into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove from oil. Drain on a wire rack or crumpled paper towels. Sprinkle with salt, and serve immediately.
