Cacklin Cardiac Veggies

Postby OldUsedParts » Sun Oct 23, 2022 2:13 pm

Well, I tried sumptin new today and the idea came from Red Lobster. We ate there the other day (BARF) and our appetizer was the "only" thing worth swallowing. Matter of fact I took 2 bites of the Flounder and 1 bite of the Broccoli.
HOWEVER, the Appetizer was Fried Green Beans and we really like them, especially the Wife.
Soooooooo, I picked up some fresh green beans and peanut oil the other day and fried a mess for Lunch. Also fried some whole Okra in the Green Bean style along with Hot Air'ing some Cackle Wings and a few Okra also. Even with the Peanut Oil, everything sure was "lubricated well" and my tummy could tell it right away.

That much fried food would put me in AL Bundys favorite room in the house for a Lonnnggg time, :)
Unfortunately for me, I don't have a Ferguson:):):):)

However, I'd definitely give it a shot, I just can't do the Okra.

The Batter for the Recipe that I used was equal parts Beer and Flour, seasoned to taste.
Dip, remove with tongs and shake - - - then fry in 375 degree Peanut Oil - - - remove with tongs onto paper towel.

Looks good. Totally agree on the Red Lobster assessment, though. :x

I agree, S.T. - - and I have found that a lot of people around our area refer to Okra as Gumbo. I'm thinking that it probably from the slick (aka slimy) texture that Okra ?can? have when handled a certain way. Some of us use a product called "file" (fee-lay) to get that texture in our Gumbo. As ol Hank wrote in his Song "Jambalaya, Crawfish Pie and File-Gumbo" it's been around a long time. :tup: Filé powder, also called gumbo filé, is a spicy herb made from the dried and ground leaves of the North American sassafras tree

Found this in Google: Filé powder is used in Louisiana Creole cuisine in the making of some types of gumbo, a thick Creole soup or stew often served over rice.[1] Several different varieties exist. In New Orleans, what is known as Creole gumbo generally varies from house to house though still retaining its Native American origins. The Creoles of Cane River make a gumbo focused much more on filé. [color=#808040]Filé can provide thickening when okra is not in season, in types of gumbo that use okra or a roux as a thickener for gumbo instead of filé [2] Sprinkled sparingly over gumbo as a seasoning and a thickening agent, filé powder adds a distinctive, earthy flavor and texture.[3]
