Recipe Of The Week: Sliced Fried Okra

Sliced Fried Okra

1 pound of okra, cut into 1/2 inch slices
1/2 cup of cornmeal
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 teaspoon of pepper
1/2 cup of vegetable oil

Cook okra in 1 cup of water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt for about 10 minutes.  Mix cornmeal, salt, and pepper.  Toss okra in cornmeal mixture until okra is completely covered.  Heat oil and cook and stir okra in oil until brown.

PS Lizzie uses butter instead of vegetable oil.

I fixed mine just a little different from Lizzie's recipe.  I sliced them into 1.2 slices then dipped them in egg.  I dug thru the cabinet and found some seasoned bread crumbs I use on fish.  Fried them up in an iron skillet with a little butter...yum!
