Wow = Good
In Praise of Okra

Fried Okra!!!!!

This is a pic of what I just cooked...which is actually the recipe Anna posted in the beginner's packet. There are other recipes for fried okra in this thread, but this one uses pork skins for the coating.

I think her recipe called the coating "pork skin panko," and that is something you can buy in the store...but it's easy to make, and so much cheaper to do it yourself. Just put some pork skins through the food processor and hit the on button until you get fine crumbs. If you don't have a food processor, you could probably put some pork skins in a zip lock and pound it with a rolling pin.

I'd used this technique as a coating to fry back in the old Adkins days and liked it...but had been a little hesitant about using the pork skins because I've never seen a bag of same labeled "grass fed, etc." I did eat some pork skins a couple of months ago with no ill effects, so after seeing Anna's recipe,I just went for it today and...WOW!!!!

I was immediately transported back to my childhood of going up to the piney woods of East Texas to my grandparent's house. Papaw had a beautiful garden, and Mamaw was an incredible cook. One bite and I was eight years old again sitting around my grandparents' round oak table with my family all enjoying the wonderful fresh vegetables grown with care and cooked with love. I literally got tears in my eyes...I LOVE the taste of fried okra.

If you've never tried it, give it a spin. It's gotten to be a much more popular vegetable since the Keto diet has become so well known. It has a wonderful unique taste...and fried is my favorite way to eat it.

Ok...if you don't feel like going to the Beginner's Packet and looking it up, here it is.

Cut up some okra and dredge it in an egg wash (add salt and pepper to the egg wash).

Roll it in the pork skin crumbs and fry it in some coconut oil.

A whole cup of raw okra is only four net carbs. No carbs in the pork skin crumbs, eggs, or oil, so you can indulge without guilt.

And to add even more value, here are some health benefits of okra:

1. Contains anti-fatigue properties

2. Protects the liver

3. Contains a lot of fiber

4. Prevents dementia and Alzheimer's disease

5. Reduces inflammation

6. Keeps your heart health

7. Stabilizes blood sugar levels

8. Supports bone health

9. Boosts immunity and promotes skin health

10. Promotes a healthy pregnancy

Hey...this is like having your cake and eating it too.

Enjoy!

Love,

Karen
