For the Love of Food

I really didn’t know what to expect when I started making this dish, the only other time I have had okra was when it was pickled and it really didn’t taste like much. The consistency of the mixture is on the slimy side, but it cooks up nicely.

Ingredients

• vegtable oil to fry the patties in
• 1 pound of chopped okra
• 1 cup of chopped onion
• 1/2 of a small zucchini
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 egg
• 1/2 of flour
• 1tsp baking powder

1. heat some oil on medium heat in a large skillet or pan
2. in a bowl mix the okra, onion, zucchini, salt, pepper, water and egg.
3. add the flour and baking powder and stir everything together
4. drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the oil and fry on each side until golden brown. this took about 3 minutes a side.
5. remove and place on paper towel

I found this went really well with cheese…but what doesn’t?
