JEN'S DEEP FRIED CAJUN OKRA
My family loves okra! Whether it boiled, fried or mixed in a dish, we love it! This dish has a Southern flavor with a mix with a hint of Cajun. They are great dipped in ranch.

Steps:
- 1. If using whole fresh okra, wash thoroughly, drain, and cut stems off. You can slice them in half length-wise or slice them into 1/2 inch rounds. Frozen cut okra saves time. Place in a bowl and set aside.
- 2. Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven to 350 degrees F. (You may not need to use this much oil; do not fill the pan more than halfway up the sides with oil.) Get a cookie sheet and line with paper towels. Set aside.
- 3. In a medium bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.
- 4. In a separate bowl add buttermilk and hot pepper sauce. Whisk together.
- 5. Dip okra in buttermilk and then dredge in cornmeal-flour mixture to coat well.
- 6. Carefully add okra to the HOT oil and cook until golden brown. (It may be necessary to fry the okra in batches.)
- 7. Remove from oil, drain on paper towels, and then serve immediately with favorite dipping sauce.
