Blanching Okra And Freezing Breaded Okra

very few of my neighbors grow okra and even fewer eat it unless it is fried in cornmeal

when i do it this way it comes out nice and and ready to freeze

if you just want to freeze okra then simply take your blanched okra and lay them out on trays and freeze them. then they are ready to bag

i use a mixture of corn meal to a cup of flour. i actually prefer using corn flour to corn meal when i have it

you season the cornmeal

once your okra has baked

once my breaded okra is then we place it in vacuum and freeze

okra is bagged as soon as it is also in vacuum then labeled and added back to the freezer

the third way you preserve it is to place it on dehydrator trays as soon as it is blanched and dehydrate until

now in the book they do not tell you to blanch the okra before dehydrating but i find i have less problems

hope this helps some of you
