We all know that the best food is fresh & locally grown. Here in the heart of Dixie, it's much easier to obtain fresh, local okra than green chile peppers. Plus, it's just plain fun to put a local spin on recipes sometimes.

Ingredients For okra rellenos (cinco de mayo, y'all)

  • okra, fresh
  • flour
  • peanut oil
  • pimento cheese
  • salt and pepper
  • milk

How To Make okra rellenos (cinco de mayo, y'all)

  • 1
    Wash okra pods then slit each open lengthwise & remove the seeds. Do not split the pod completely; it needs to become a "jacket" for the filling.
  • 2
    Fill each de-seeded pod with pimento cheese spread (with or without jalapenos, homemade or not, your choice).
  • 3
    Dip each filled pod in milk & then dredge in flour that has been salted & peppered to taste.
  • 4
    Place cast iron skillet on stovetop, add peanut oil, & then once oil is hot, add okra rellenos. Do not overcrowd pan. Several frying sessions may be required depending on how much okra you are preparing.
  • 5
    Once nicely browned, remove rellenos with a slotted spoon, plate up & enjoy.
  • Last Step: Don't forget to share! Make all your friends drool by posting a picture of your finished recipe on your favorite social network. And don't forget to tag Just A Pinch and include #justapinchrecipes so we can see it too!
