Ingredients

• 1 lb. fresh okra
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 4 – 6 dashes hot pepper sauce
• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1/2 tsp. salt

Step 1

Wash okra and drain well. Cut off ends and discard. Cut okra crosswise into 1/2-inch slices. In a bowl, combine beaten eggs and hot sauce. Add okra and stir to coat all pieces well. In a shallow dish, combine cornmeal, salt, and cayenne. Dip okra pieces into cornmeal mixture to coat well. Heat oil in the deep fryer to 375°F. Fry okra in batches until browned, about 4 – 6 minutes for each batch. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.
