FRIED OKRA
Is it really a Southern feast without a plate of fried okra? In the warm months, this classic dish can be found at barbecue joints, meat-and-threes, and backyard cookouts throughout the South. There are many ways to prepare okra-it can be skewered, charred, grilled, or sautéed-but the most popular and traditional Southern method to give it a quick cornmeal dredge and fry it.The recipe is simple and straightforward. All you'll need is fresh okra, salt, cornmeal, and canola oil to pull off this stellar side. Southerners know that fried okra doesn't require much dressing up-when you try to get fancy, you run the risk of losing the true spirit of the dish. The process of frying okra may be simple, but the result is utter perfection-gorgeous, golden-brown nuggets of soft-on-the-inside, crunchy-on-the-outside okra. This fried favorite is also a great way to convince the kids to eat their vegetables. Don't let the summer pass by without making this dish at least once.

FRESH FRIED OKRA
I love fresh vegetables in the summer time. You just can't beat picking them fresh from the garden or purchasing them at a vegetable/fruit stand. I love okra cooked on top of peas, butterbeans, in gumbo, soup, but fried is one of my favorite ways to fix okra. As you know most of us southerners have been raised on fried food (not...

Steps:
- 1. Wash, cut the tops off of the okra. Cut the okra in desired pieces. Let them soak in the cup of milk. Get your oil hot in your skillet. In another bowl mix the corn meal and flour together. You should have more meal than flour. Take your okra from the milk and dip it in the flour/cornmeal mixture. Fry on medium heat until you get them golden brown or as brown as your family likes them. Sprinkle salt and pepper on them and serve.

- Wash the okras and pat dry using a paper towel. I laid down all the washed okras in a dry paper towel and then pat dry each of them using another paper towel. It is very important that there is no water content left in the okra and it is really dry when we start cutting them.
- Cut off both the ends of each okra (which includes the thick stem) and slice the okras in round thin slices, keep aside.
- Fry in medium heat for about 12 minutes or until the okra is lightly fried and the slices are not sticking to each other anymore. Make sure you don't stir the okra in between. As the okra slices gets fried the bright green color would fade, and the slime would evaporate by itself. If you stir in between it will make the dish mushy, so make sure you don't stir the okra until they are fried enough and not sticking anymore.
