A staple side dish in the South, this fried okra recipe is simple, quick, and oh-so-delicious. • 2 eggs • 1/2 cup buttermilk • 1 teaspoon salt • 1 teaspoon pepper • 1 cup cornmeal self-rising or plain • 4 cups okra fresh or frozen, sliced • 1/4 cup vegetable oil • Thaw okra. Combine eggs and buttermilk in one bowl, and combine the salt, pepper, and cornmeal in a separate bowl. • Coat okra with egg/buttermilk mixture and then transfer to dry mixture and coat. • Heat approximately 1/4 cup of oil in a skillet until hot. Dip okra from the bowl into the oil with a slotted spoon. (Leave the extra cornmeal in the bowl and throw away). • Stir occasionally and cook until okra is brown and crisp. Take out of oil with the slotted spoon.
