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.
GRILLED OKRA WITH CAJUN RéMOULADE
Okra is a popular item at robatayaki (grill) restaurants in Japan where the pods are pinned together with skewers into rafts. Turning rafts of okra (versus flipping individual pods) is the easiest way to grill them. Besides the charred smoky flavor grilling imparts to all vegetables, it also minimizes okra's slime factor - boiled or stewed okra tends to become mucilaginous. This is useful for thickening gumbo, but it's off-putting to many people who try to eat okra straight. In keeping with okra's Louisianan associations, this formula calls for dusting the okra with Cajun seasoning before grilling and serving it with a rémoulade sauce for dipping or spooning on top.

Steps:
- Set up your grill for direct grilling and heat your grill to high (450 to 600 degrees). Brush or scrape the grill grate clean and oil it with a tightly folded paper towel dipped in vegetable oil and drawn across the bars of the grate with tongs.
- Meanwhile, trim the very ends off the stems of the okra, but do not cut into the pods. Lay 4 to 6 okra pods side by side, alternating the positions of the heads and tails. Pin crosswise near the heads and tails with toothpicks or short metal or bamboo skewers to form rafts. If the bamboo skewers extend far beyond the okra, snip off the long ends of the skewers. Brush the okra rafts on both sides with melted butter and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning.
- Make the rémoulade sauce: Place the mayonnaise in a mixing bowl and whisk in the mustard, horseradish, pickle juice (if using), hot sauce, pimentón, Cajun seasoning and chives. Transfer to 4 small serving bowls.
- Arrange the okra rafts on the grate and grill (covered if you are using a gas grill), basting with any remaining butter and turning with tongs, until well browned on both sides, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the okra to a platter or plates. Have each eater remove and discard the skewers and pick up the grilled okra with their fingers to dip in the rémoulade sauce.

FRIED OKRA WITH HERB REMOULADE
You should be able to cut okra easily with a knife; if there's any resistance, it's too old to cook and should be discarded.

Steps:
- In a shallow dish, whisk together cornmeal, flour, salt, cayenne, and ground pepper; set aside. In a large shallow bowl, whisk together egg whites and 3 tablespoons cold water. Add okra, and toss to coat completely. Lift the okra from egg mixture, letting excess drain off; add to cornmeal mixture, and toss to coat evenly.
- In a deep 12-inch skillet or Dutch oven, heat oil to 375 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. Carefully place half of the okra in the oil. Gently stir without disturbing coating. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 6 minutes; adjusting heat as needed to keep the oil temperature between 300 and 350 degrees. With a slotted spoon, transfer okra to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
- Return oil to 375 degrees; repeat with remaining okra. Season with salt, and serve with lemon wedges and hot sauce, if desired.

- To begin, whisk together the ingredients for the creole mustard remoulade in a small dish, and keep cold in the fridge until ready to serve.
- To prepare the okra, gently wash it and pat it dry with paper towels; add it to a bowl, and pour the buttermilk over top, mixing the okra with the buttermilk to coat all the pods; marinate like this for 5 minutes.
- While the okra marinates, prepare your breading station: add your flour to a bowl along with a good pinch of salt and pepper, have your whisked eggs ready in another bowl, and combine the cornmeal with the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl along with a couple of pinches of salt, black pepper, the creole/cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, granulated onion and garlic, and the cayenne (if using).
- Drain the okra completely from the buttermilk (I like to shake my sieve or strainer to get as much off as possible), then add a batch of the okra to the flour and toss to coat.
