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.

- Place the cornmeal into a sealable ziptop bag. Add the okra and shake to coat thoroughly.
- Add enough vegetable oil to a cast iron or stainless steel skillet in order to completely cover the bottom of the pan. Place over medium heat and heat until the oil reaches 370 degrees F. Add the okra all at once and fry until golden brown on 1 side, approximately 6 to 7 minutes. Do not disturb until the bottom is golden brown. Turn the okra with a spatula and do not disturb until the majority of the other side is golden brown as well, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Now stir occasionally until all of the okra is golden on all sides, approximately another 3 to 4 minutes.

- Cut the okra into 1/2-inch rounds. In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Place the flour, salt and pepper in a plastic bag large enough to hold the okra. Dip the okra in the eggs, then drop into the bag. Shake well, making sure that just enough flour adheres to cover and that the okra pieces do not stick together.

SIMPLE FRIED OKRA
With only a few ingredients and about 10 minutes, you can enjoy light, crispy okra anytime. I prefer okra with a light flour coating versus corn meal. I want to taste the okra -- not the breading! Fried okra, a country staple, is best served hot alongside thick-sliced summer tomatoes.
