This is another recipe I grew up with. This is passed down from word of mouth, no one has ever written it down before! Fresh, fried okra is soo simple to fix and soo good!

Categories     Vegetable

Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb fresh okra, cut into pieces (don't use the top of the stem but the bottom is wonderful to eat)
2 -3 cups cornmeal
1 egg
2 cups buttermilk (regular or lowfat milk is fine, too)
salt and pepper
oil

Steps:

  • In a big bowl beat egg with a fork, pour milk in and combine. Pour the cornmeal in another big bowl.
  • Pour enough oil in a big skillet, halfway up, or you can use a deep fryer. Set heat to Medium-high.
  • Put some okra pieces in milk mixture and then coat in cornmeal batter. Fry in skillet 10-15 min, occasionally turning/stirring them around. They are done when crispy and golden brown but not black!
  • Drain on paper towel lined plate. Sprinkle with salt and pepper (i don't use pepper but some people prefer it).
  • Repeat with rest of okra till all gone. Enjoy!

The okra was a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.

This Southern fried okra recipe is a keeper! The okra was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the seasoning was perfect. I will definitely be making this again.
