Flourless Fried Okra - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 cup vegetable oil, may take even more (do not use olive oil, it can't stand high heat)
1/2 cup rice flour
1 1/4 cups gluten-free cornmeal
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (for color and a little added flavor)
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon xanthan gum (sort of a binder)
1 quart whole okra, stem ends removed
Preparation
-
Heat canola oil or high-heat tolerant vegetable oil (not olive oil) in a large skillet until the end of a wooden spoon sizzles and bubbles when you place it in the soil. Oil should be about a half inch deep in the skillet.
While the oil is heating, combine the rice flour, cornmeal, yeast, sea salt, and xanthan gum in a plate. Stir with a fork until well mixed.
Place the okra in a single layer on top of the dry mixture.
Mash it gently with a fork to flatten it and coat both sides with the mix.
Heat the okra pieces in a single layer in the oil, watching closely and turning when they are brown and almost crisp.
As the pieces are done, place them on a paper towel lined platter to drain.
Watch out! You'll eat them all before supper if you're not careful!
