Southern Fried Okra
Fried okra is my all-time favorite vegetable. It is the only green vegetable that I get excited about eating. I can eat a ton of it. I prefer to make it at home as opposed to eating it out. Most restaurants just fry frozen okra. It has the stems and tips in it, and I hate when I accidentally eat those pieces. Yuck!
I like to buy the small okra pods and slice it fairly thin. Most of the time I just slice it and toss it in corn meal. This time I decided to soak the okra in buttermilk and then toss it in corn meal. It was like little cornbread nuggets with yummy okra inside. It was absolutely delicious!
