Provided by Jessica K

Categories     Vegetable

Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb fresh okra, cut into pieces (don't use the top of the stem but the bottom is wonderful to eat)
2 -3 cups cornmeal
1 egg
2 cups buttermilk (regular or lowfat milk is fine, too)
salt and pepper
oil

Steps:

  • In a big bowl beat egg with a fork, pour milk in and combine. Pour the cornmeal in another big bowl.
  • Pour enough oil in a big skillet, halfway up, or you can use a deep fryer. Set heat to Medium-high.
  • Put some okra pieces in milk mixture and then coat in cornmeal batter. Fry in skillet 10-15 min, occasionally turning/stirring them around. They are done when crispy and golden brown but not black!
  • Drain on paper towel lined plate. Sprinkle with salt and pepper (i don't use pepper but some people prefer it).
  • Repeat with rest of okra till all gone. Enjoy!

35 CLASSIC SOUTHERN FOODS GRANDMA USED TO MAKE | …

From eatthis.com
  • Deviled Eggs. The roots of "stuffed eggs" can be traced back to ancient Rome. But the term "devil" was introduced to describe spicy or highly seasoned food in great Britain in the 1700s.
  • Buttermilk Biscuits. Southern grandmothers often had a bread bowl where they kept flour ready to mix biscuits for the dinner meal. They perfected the art of biscuit-making as an easy way to fill up hungry bellies at their table, and you can do the same today with a simple biscuit recipe.
  • Fried Chicken. There may be nothing more iconic to the Southern food canon than fried chicken. The meat, dredged in thick flour and fried to a golden crisp, is a salty and satisfying meal.
  • Peach Cobbler. While peaches are grown across the United States, there is something very special about the versions harvested in Georgia. Known as "The Peach State," connoisseurs swear by the quality of fruit grown in the state.
  • Grits. If you're not from the South, I bet you've wondered what grits are. Similar to polenta, grits are made by grinding white corn called hominy. Before the kernels are ground, the hulls are removed, resulting in a fine consistency.
  • Banana Pudding. Banana pudding is a staple at potluck dinners, comfort food at funerals, and a sweet ending for summer suppers. Southerners have enjoyed scoops of the cool custard topped with whipped meringue and studded with bananas and Nilla wafers for years, and it's not going away anytime soon.
  • Chicken Pot Pie. While no one down South can claim that meat pot pies got their start in the area, there is hardly a family who doesn't sit down to this dish often.
  • Chicken and Dumplings. Many memories of Southern grandmas involve them rolling out the dumpling dough right on the counter, flouring the surface to prevent it from sticking.
  • Blackened Catfish. A funny-looking fish inhabits the creeks and rivers of the lower South, and it has whiskers. They are a fun fish to catch, simply caught by many Southern children with a cane pole loaded with a piece of a hot dog.
  • Coca-Cola Cake. Some bakers in the South swear by the addition of Coca-Cola to cake to punch up the sweetness and add airiness to the texture with the carbonation.
