It's nearly time to plant okra. Pickled, fried, boiled, or in a salad. This okra you can cook on the grill or deep fry. Just as good anyway you fix it.

How to Make STUFFED OKRA

Step-by-Step

STUFFED OKRA:
Cut tops of each okra pod take seeds out and the ribs. wash and pat dry set aside.
In a medium bowl mix together the ricotta cheese,
cream cheese and the nuts. MAKE SURE cheese is at room temprature.
One by one stuff each okra pod with cheese mixture until all are stuffed set aside. chill.
Dip in tempura batter and deep fry 1 minute 1 1/2 minute at the most.
Turn out on paper towel and soak up the excess oil. serve hot.
TEMPURA BETTER:
Separate egg white from yolk. Beat until frothy and light (DO NOT OVER BEAT ) White should be very liquid and should not reach a stage where a peak would hold.
Fold in all ingredients and beat until smooth.
Dip okra into flour then batter fry in hot vegetable oil or canola oil.
