Jambalaya recipe

12. Fried okra, FTW!

Haven’t cooked it for ages.

My mother made it without eggs, just buttermilk, or hot sauces, just a large dose of black pepper. And more 2 parts *yellow* corn meal to 1 part flour, it’s crunchier that way. Fried in minimal oil in cast iron frying pan. The breading doesn’t coat as thickly, so the okra itself gets real crispy with charcoaled edges.

No dipping sauce, either, it was a vegetable with your meal.

At least that’s how my Texas family made it.

Now my mouth is watering for that crispy, salty-hot treat.

Off to find some okra!
