Someone mentioned dipping them in corn meal, which isn’t a bad idea, but I might mix some flour in with the corn meal to even out the textures. Beef tallow would be great!
One of the meals I like to add fried okra to sometimes (besides on their own) is mix some in with Brunswick Stew. Ok, that’s not a traditional Thanksgiving dish AT ALL, more a summertime BBQ, but oh, yum, is that ever satisfying! Fills a hungry tummy! (Confession: I’m not sure I got to eat fried okra in Brunswick stew this last summer…a travesty that I will have to wait until next summer for! 😩)
I was thinking of panko breadcrumbs.
