Fried okra the right way.
First you want fresh tender pods. For the Clemson Spineless I grow that about an index finger long. Cowhorn can go longer but they need to be tender.
Trim off the stem ends, slice into half inch rounds. Dredge in plain cornmeal seasoned with salt, pepper, maybe some cayenne if you like a little tingle.
Heat some oil in a skillet, just enough to cover the bottom. Fry the okra in a single layer until browned and crisp.
Tip, add some diced green tomatoes before dredging. Can’t find okra up here…just like you probably Nevah had Fiddleheads …. Nope on fiddleheads. Fern fronds just as they uncurl, right? We got ferns but I wouldn't know which ones but I'm game and will try anything once.

From last week. Love summer time Nice ! I see you like it chunky ! Naw....that's when I first threw the veggies in. They cook down to thicken things up. Yours looks great. Hope you get to eat on it for a few days.
