Baked Okra Fries #SundayFunday

By

Today the Sunday Funday group is sharing recipes with okra. Thanks to Stacy of Food Lust People Love, Sue of Palatable Pastime, Rebekah of Making Miracles, and Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm for coordinating this low-stress group. 

And, this week, Sneha has asked us to share okra recipes. We love okra in this household. I have made Okra Chips Two Ways. and Quick Pickled Okra. And it's an important ingredient in gumbo as that dish derived from the word 'gombo' which translates to 'okra' in many West African languages.

In any any case, here's the okra line-up from the #SundayFunday bloggers...

Baked Okra Fries

But I figured I'd share a side dish today. When I made these, we battled over them and I definitely will double the recipe next time. This simple dish comes together quickly and tastes amazing.

Ingredients
  • 1 pound okra, rinsed and dried
  • 1 Tablespoon corn meal
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil

Procedure

Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Trim the end off the okra and slice them in half lengthwise. Place okra in a large mixing bowl. Add in the corn meal, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat. Place okra on a silicone or parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.


The okra fries should be browned and nicely crisped. Serve immediately as they will get less crisp as they cool.

That's a wrap for the #SundayFunday okra event. We'll be back next weekend as we share recipes with something on a stick. Stay tuned!

    Delicious! I can see why your okra disappeared so quickly. It really is wonderful when it's crunchy!

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

By
As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
