Freezing Okra
Posted on 2008-10-13 by stephargaret060

I personally am not tired of okra but my family is…so I have started freezing it. Maybe they shall appreciate it in the middle of the winter.

I have frozen it 2 ways.

First  I prepared okra as if we would be eating it on behalf of dinner as well as then froze it.

  1. Cut okra into  half inch slices, approx 5 cups.
  2. Mix okra with 1/4  tsp salt , 2 pinches of pepper as well as 2 TBSP. of cornmeal.
  3. Put 2 tsp of canola oil in a cast iron 9″ frying pan. Heat up the oil on medium high
  4. Add okra as well as fry on behalf of about 4 minutes while stirring occasionally.
  5. Put into separate glass bowl to cool.
  6. Put 4 cups in 1 qt. freezer bag as well as put in freezer.

The 2nd way I froze it was whole.

  1. Wash okra as well as cut off tops.
  2. Blanch in boiling water on behalf of 3-4 minutes subject to the size of the okra, small/large.
  3. Quickly put in ice water.
  4. Drain.
  5. Add 4 cups of okra to one quart freezer bag.
  6. Pop in freezer.
