Method
Fried Okra
Prepare the Okra
In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, mix the beaten egg and buttermilk.
Coat the Okra
Dip each okra slice into the buttermilk mixture, then coat with the cornmeal mixture. Ensure they are well-coated.
Fry the Okra
Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated okra in batches, frying until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes). Remove and drain on paper towels.
Chive Aioli
Mix the Aioli
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, chopped chives, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth.
Serve
Serve the fried okra hot with the chive aioli on the side for dipping.
