Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh okra
- 0.5 cup onion
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup cornmeal
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Wash the okra thoroughly and pat it dry. Trim the ends and finely chop the okra into small pieces.
Step 2
Dice the onion into small, even pieces.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped okra, diced onion, flour, and cornmeal.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, beat the egg with the milk until well combined, then pour this mixture into the bowl with the okra.
Step 5
Add garlic powder, paprika, ground black pepper, and salt to the mixture. Stir until everything is evenly combined and forms a thick batter.
Step 6
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.
Step 7
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the batter and gently drop it into the hot oil, flattening it slightly with the back of a spoon to form a patty.
Step 8
Repeat with the remaining batter, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry the patties in batches if needed.
Step 9
Cook each patty for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
Step 10
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 11
Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. Enjoy Pete's Okra Patties with your favorite dipping sauce or on their own!
