Mouthgasmic Food Formulas: FRIED OKRA
Food is an important aspect of life in our community, and we enjoy sharing our unique and sustainable food reality!
Today, we’d like to share the formula for an Eden Knight favorite:
FRIED OKRA!

1. Grind cornmeal. We grew some beautiful multi-colored corn this yea! When it was nice and dry, we stripped it from the cob and ground it in a Vitamix until it was coarse cornmeal.

2. Chop okra into ¼” to ½” slices. The Eden Knights have their own preferences for the perfect size of fried okra--smaller pieces get crispier.

3. Batter the okra. We use a 3 step process for coating the okra: first, dip slices in a mix of half cornmeal with half flour with salt and pepper. Second, dip slices into eggs beaten with a little bit of milk and liquid aminos. Third, dip slices in cornmeal-flour mix again.

4. Fry okra. The trick is to get the oil hot enough. Test the temperature by dropping a battered okra slice in the oil; if it sizzles loud and proud and bubbly, the oil is ready. If it’s a wimpy, quiet little noise with weak bubbles, allow the pan to heat longer. Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry the okra until the batter is golden brown to your preference!

5. Serve okra hot. Pair it with a dipping sauce, if you prefer.

We do all of our cooking over fire in our outdoor kitchen using our rocket stoves. Here’s a picture of our newest rocket stove:

Mmm. Making me homesick with that Texas specialty, the fried okra. Good stuff.
I love fried okra! My mouth started to water when I saw the photo. Thanks for your post!
Thank you very much for the useful recipe
and beautiful photos by @gardenofeden
Never had to see the colorful corn.
It's stunningly beautiful.
Such a product as okra is very useful and nutritious and
the dish turned out very appetizing.

Thank you !
Okra is so good!!! Medicina, not to many people growing that around here. I planted a few but they never took off, definitely not giving up on the Okra!!
Looks really good! I think that's a cool looking rocket stove too. I can find some fried okra at one of the local fried chicken joints, no doubt your recipe is far superior! Ha! I also love the pictures of your fields. Such beautiful weather. Being in Washington state, we get cloudy, grey skies about 80% of the year if not more.
