Okra Patties

[CodingQueen]

This was my grandmother's recipe but it originally called for cornmeal which I have substituted the corn thins...For my uncle's version, see the next post...CQ

Ingredients:

1 pound chopped or thinly sliced okra
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped tomato, seeds removed
Corn thins, crushed (6-8)*
1-2 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon curry powder, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
Oil for cooking
*More may be needed depending on the moisture of the mix

Directions:

Combine okra, onion and tomato in a large bowl. Add the corn thins, egg, salt, curry and pepper and blend together using your hands.

Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Form patties 2 1/2 inches in diameter, about 1/2 the size of a hamburger. Place the pattie in the pan and cook until golden brown, about three to five minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook until browned on the other side, about three to five minutes more. Remove and drain on paper towels.

For my uncle's version....CQ

Eliminate the chopped tomato and curry...

Add the following:

2 Tablespoons buttermilk (buttermilk is fat free)
2-3 Tablespoons of Parmesan cheese, grated (fat free or low fat)
2-3 Tablespoons of chopped fresh parley
Minced garlic to taste
