Method
Okra Preparation
Prepare the Okra
Wash the fresh okra under cold water to remove any dirt. Trim the ends and slice each okra pod into 1/2 inch pieces.
Coat the Okra
In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss the sliced okra in the mixture until thoroughly coated.
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Fry the Okra
Working in batches, carefully add the coated okra to the hot oil. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden and crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Drain the Okra
Once crispy, remove the okra from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Honey Mustard Sauce
Mix the Sauce
In a small bowl, combine the honey, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Peppa Sauce
Prepare the Peppa Sauce
In another small bowl, mix together the hot sauce, vinegar, garlic powder, and onion powder until well blended.
