Ingredients
4 cups sliced okra (fresh tastes & cooks best-- if frozen, let thaw completely)1/2 box Jiffy Corn Muffin mix (approx. 3 servings)1/2 cup flaxseed meal2 cups Cheerios, pulverized to powder1 tbsp salt2 tsp black pepper4 egg whites (large)1/4 cup almond milk3 cups canola oil
Pour oil into deep skillet or fryer, heat at medium for approximately 15 minutes.
Blend well corn muffin mix, cheerios, flaxseed meal, salt and pepper in large mixing bowl. Set aside.
Blend egg whites and almond milk until frothy.
Wash okra in egg whites/almond milk and then toss in dry mixture until evenly covered.
Pour okra into hot oil. Fry for ten - 12 minutes. If in skillet, be sure to turn okra over in oil halfway through cooking time.
Remove from oil and DRAIN WELL (I put 4-5 paper towels into collander or steamer basket and spread okra evenly-- one okra deep- over the surface) for about 5 minutes.
Serve and enjoy!
***Note***
The nutritional value for this food is based on 1/2 cup servings and for ONLY what is actually in the food you are eating- NOT for all the ingredients used to prepare the food (in other words, there is more oil used to cook the okra than what is actually IN the okra, etc.). I painstakingly measured before cooking and after cooking all ingredients and their remains in order to provide you with most accurate nutritional information. So if you notice any discrepancies between nutritional information on individual ingredients and the resulting dish, this is why.
