 | I love fried okra. My favorite spot for fried okra is Hickory Hollow, but I think that is mainly based on the fact that Hickory Hollow has the best ranch dressing I have ever tasted. There were lots of things I wouldn't eat before I moved to Texas: queso, guacamole, and of course, ranch dressing. I would probably be a lot healthier if I didn't indulge in any of them. These okra are so good, you don't even need ranch dressing. |
3 to 4 cups fresh okra
1 egg
¼ cup milk
½ cup flour
½ cup processed tortilla chips
oil for frying
Trim the ends from the okra, then slice into ½” pieces. In a bowl, whisk the egg with the milk. Toss the okra in the egg mixture. In a food processor, pulse the tortilla chips until they resemble a fine powder. Mix the tortilla chips and flour in a separate bowl. Add the okra into the flour mixture and toss gently to coat. Heat 1” of oil in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Working in batches, fry the okra for 3 to 5 minutes, until they are golden brown in color. Drain on a wire rack.
