Southern Okra Recipes - 3 Ways to Cook Okra in a Cast Iron Skillet
Get my 3 favorite Southern Okra recipes here! We grow okra in our garden each year, so we always have a TON of okra to use up. So I've definitely mastered how to cook okra in a cast iron skillet over the years, and I'm sharing my 3 favorite recipes with you!
1) Fried Okra in a Cast Iron Skillet - This is my favorite fried okra recipe and it only takes 2 ingredients - mustard to act as a binder for your breading and Louisiana fish fry mix. Add in some hot sauce with the mustard and toss to coat for a little extra flavor. So easy and so good!
2) Blackened Okra - Another 2 ingredient Southern Okra recipe. Just add a little ranch dressing to your cut okra and stir to combine. Then sprinkle on your favorite blackening or Creole seasoning and cook in your cast iron skillet until tender.
3) Okra Succotash - Or I call it my "Okra Hash"... Cook some chopped bacon in your cast iron skillet, and leave all of the cooked bacon and grease in the skillet. Add cut okra and saute until about 75% done. Then add fresh corn, sliced onions, and diced bell peppers or poblano peppers to the skillet and cook until done.
Three super easy Cast Iron Skillet Okra recipes that don't take many ingredients but pack a punch of flavor!

One bowl, no eggs. This recipe is a game changer. Thank you sir. Because of this video, I'm going to plant okra today! (I'm in the tropics🍹)...one tip, you can put your okra in the sun for an hour after slicing to dry off any slime

hey thats a great tip....thanks...
First time growing Okra and I needed a way to cook it, now I have three fantastic recipes to try this weekend.
I usually eat it raw thinly sliced with a dash of soy sauce and wasabi. I'm looking forward to trying these. Thanks.

We love to do the same blackened way but keep the okra whole and grill it.
Looks yummy!!! Great video!!
Great ideas. I've eaten and cooked okra almost my whole life, but will definitely give your ways a try. I think okra is one of the most under rated vegetables. A must have for any gumbos. Thanks for the video!!!

Amen. I also keep then whole and toss in ranch dressing toss in blackened seasoning and grill them. Those ate great to.
Excellent! I remember well picking okra in 110 deg. temps out in West Texas and my Aunt Lottie frying it up in the cast iron pan. It is, by far, my favorite vegetable dish. Picking okra was, for me, a bit of a challenge at first. My mother told me it was a lot like picking cotton which she did as a little girl (supposedly the two plants are related). Thanks for the post!

Normally my preferred method for okra is whole, coated in olive oil and sprinkled with whatever seasoning appeals that day then grilled to a light/medium char on the coals, but might have to give that "blackened" version a shot. Thanks.

Very cool, Neal! Gotta keep my eyes open, don't see okra too often up here.
As a mexican dude, it is very weird to see someone actually COOK with salsa valentina. We typically use it on fruit or veg or when eating chips w/ lemon. Other than that, i dont know any mexican recipes that use valentina. Very creative!

Can you suggest a great cast iron pan? Or what are you using.

I can...if you are just getting started I think LODGE is extremely hard to beat. Cheaper and extremely easy to use..it allows you to get the hang of cast iron..seasoning. washing,. and maintenance...worst case your out 20 bucks...but the learning lesson will be valuable to see if you want to invest in more expensive peices
So far I’m seeing 4 ingredients in this 2 ingredient fried okra. LOL
I have found that if the tips are flexible then the okra will be tender
