Okra is a signature Southern ingredient whether fried, pickled, or grilled. Okra Rellenos are essentially fried okra filled with cheese. The recipe yields 2 dozen, but they'll go fast!
How to Make It
Step 1
Cut Monterey Jack cheese into 3- x 1/4- x 1/4-inch sticks.
Step 2
Cut a lengthwise slit in each okra pod, cutting to but not through ends; push seeds aside. Stuff pods with cheese sticks, and set aside.
Step 3
Combine flour and cornmeal in a large bowl; make a well in center of mixture.
Step 4
Stir together egg, buttermilk, and beer; add to dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.
Step 5
Pour oil to depth of 3 inches into a Dutch oven; heat to 375°. Dip stuffed okra in batter, coating well; fry, a few at a time, in hot oil until golden. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt; serve immediately with salsa.
