Mama's Fried Okra With Green Tomatoes image

We love fried okra and fried green tomatoes... why did we never think about frying them together before Janet's recipe? Turns out to be a match made in heaven. The little chunks of tangy green tomatoes are a nice contrast in flavor to the okra. Everything fries up nice and crispy. If you like a little more flavor, you can add...

Categories     Vegetables

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 oz frozen cut okra, thawed
1 large green tomato, chopped in large pieces
3/4 c buttermilk
all-purpose flour
vegetable oil for frying
salt

Steps:

  • 1. Put the thawed okra and chopped tomato in a bowl and stir in the buttermilk. Cover and put in the fridge for at least 1 hour. When ready to fry, remove from the fridge and drain off the buttermilk.
  • 2. Put about a cup of flour in a Ziploc bag. Add a couple of handfuls of okra & tomatoes to the bag and shake to coat.
  • 3. With a deep fryer heated to 350 degrees, use your hand to get the okra & tomatoes from the bag, shaking off excess flour and carefully dropping in the oil. Fry just until golden and remove to a paper towel lined pan (make sure the pan is big enough so the okra doesn't lay on top of one another, this is key to the okra remaining crispy). Continue frying (adding more flour to the bag as needed), in batches. Once done, sprinkle lightly with salt before serving.

I'm not usually a fan of okra, but this recipe changed my mind. The okra was crispy and flavorful, and the green tomatoes added a nice tang. I will definitely be making this again.

This is a great way to use up extra okra and green tomatoes from the garden. The frying process brings out the natural flavors of the vegetables and the breading adds a nice crunch. I highly recommend this recipe!

This okra and green tomato fry is a delicious and unique Southern dish. The okra is crispy and flavorful, while the green tomatoes add a tangy sweetness. I served it with cornbread and black-eyed peas for a complete meal.
