Instructions

  • Heat oil in a cast iron skillet or large frying pan to 350°.
  • In a shallow container add buttermilk and diced jalapenos, stir and then add okra. Let soak while oil is heating up.
  • Add cornmeal, flour, spices and seasonings into a large gallon size baggie, seal and shake to mix.
  • Using a slotted spoon, allowing most of the liquid to drip off, add okra to baggie.
  • Seal and shake to coat.
  • Add about ⅓ of the okra into the oil and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes, turning as necessary.
  • Remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Continue cooking the remaining okra.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
