FRIED OKRA
Fried okra is a staple in Texas and the south, and everyone has their own way to make it. The crust can be flour, cornmeal, or a combination of both; my grandmother used cornmeal, my mother uses mostly seasoned flour, my wife uses both at the same time. They are all good to me. In fact, I can't recall ever meeting a plate or bowl of fried okra that I didn't like. It is easy to make.

SIMPLE FRIED OKRA
With only a few ingredients and about 10 minutes, you can enjoy light, crispy okra anytime. I prefer okra with a light flour coating versus corn meal. I want to taste the okra -- not the breading! Fried okra, a country staple, is best served hot alongside thick-sliced summer tomatoes.

BEER BATTER DEEP FRIED GREEN BEANS AND/OR OKRA
Using Rice Bran oil makes a very light deep fry. RB Oil has a high smoke temperature and can be reused up to 10 times. It is also loaded with nutrition compared to other fry oils. (It's considered a nutraceutical. I discovered it via Google.) Prep and Cooking time will vary. I have a small electric deep fryer so it took awhile to cook all the batches. I only added 6 string beans at a time. Same with the Okra. Otherwise, the vegetables will drift and stick together.

Steps:
- Preheat Rice Bran oil or other high temperature oil to 375 degrees F.
- Whisk the beer, flour, salt and pepper until smooth.
- Let mixture sit for a little bit (can be made ahead).
- Trim green bean ends and/or caps off okra (If using okra use only smaller young pods).
- Dip green beans and/or okra into the batter to coat, letting excess drip off. (I use a strainer).
- Fry in the oil in batches, until they are golden and crisp.
- Remove from oil with a strainer to a paper towel lined plate or cookie sheet.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper. I use fresh ground pepper and fresh ground coarse salt.
- After finding I had extra batter left over, I added cinnamon and raw cane sugar to the batter and split some regular eating bananas -- battered them up and fried them too. Added drizzle of honey and scoop of vanilla ice cream -- and Viola! Tasty dessert with no hint of the aforementioned green beans nor okra.

COMFORTING OVEN-FRIED OKRA, SQUASH, AND ONION
What a great way to "fry" some veggies. I loved the combination of veggies and did add the potatoes. The seasonings enhance the flavor of the fresh veggies and the cornmeal/flour coating is great. Can't wait to make this again!

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- 2. Be sure to use the freshest ingredients. Add each chopped vegetable ingredient into bowl for mixing.
- 3. Salt, garlic powder, and pepper vegetables and stir. Throw in flour on top of vegetables, then corn meal.
- 4. If the vegetables aren't sufficiently covered upon stirring, you may add more flour one tablespoon at a time until it's all covered.
- 5. Place aluminum foil, shiny side up, in a sheet pan. Spray with Pam cooking spray. Remove vegetable mixture from bowl with hands and spread onto the foil in a thin layer. If there is any loose flour in the bowl, dump it into the trash instead of onto the pan.
- 6. Spray the top of the breaded vegetables with Pam.
- 7. Place into the preheated oven and bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until brown. I stir them around about 10 minutes before they finish cooking to crispen them up better on all sides.
- 8. Remove from oven and serve immediately. This is good fried on the stove top also, but if you are like my family, you may be cutting back on fried foods. This is a good way to eat nice comfort foods without consuming large amounts of unhealthy fats.
