Ingredients

½ cup all-purpose baking mix (Bisquick used)
½ cup roasted salted peanuts, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 pound fresh or frozen (thawed) okra, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 large eggs, beaten
¼ cup cooking oil (more if needed) (use a high-heat oil such as peanut)

Instructions

Stir together the Bisquick, peanuts, salt, and pepper.
Dip the okra pieces in the egg and then add them to the Bisquick mixture. Stir to coat.
Add ¼ cup of oil to a large skillet. Heat until hot, and then add the okra (cooking in 2-3 batches, so the pan is not crowded). Fry for about 4 minutes per batch or until the okra is brown, adding more oil when needed. Garnish with peanuts if desired.
TO DEEP FRY: Use 2 inches of oil heated to 375°F. Fry the okra in batches for about 4 minutes or until golden. Bring the oil back up to temperature between batches.

Notes

Okra

Use only small, tender okra pods for the best taste. Discard any pods that are hard to cut.

Okra has a short shelf life. Store it in the refrigerator, and do not wash it until you are ready to use it.
