PAN-SEARED OKRA WITH BACON
Okra is a staple in Gullah cooking, and let me tell you, give me a cast-iron skillet and I'm a happy girl. It's the perfect pan for giving that okra its crispy, roasted exterior. Paired with bacon...shoot, it's downright delicious. My secret for un-slimy okra? A squeeze of lemon juice.

Steps:
- Cook the bacon in a large cast-iron skillet until crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove to paper towels to drain, reserving the drippings in the skillet.
- Add the okra to the drippings in the skillet. Add the canola oil if the skillet is dry. Sprinkle with the House Seasoning, and toss to coat. Saute until crispy and golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Squeeze the juice from the lemon over the top of the okra. Crumble the bacon over the top and sprinkle with freshly ground pepper. Serve right from the skillet.
- Stir together the garlic and onion powders, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
PAN-FRIED OKRA
As one of the most respected cooks in America's Lowcountry region, Emily Meggett knows a thing or two about taking humble ingredients and transforming them into an irresistible plate of food. Such is the case for the matriarch's pan-fried okra, from her cookbook "Gullah Geechee Home Cooking: Recipes From the Matriarch of Edisto Island" (Abrams, 2022), a book that I co-wrote. Her recipe is constructed around the use of fresh, seasonal okra pods. Mrs. Meggett dismisses what she views as the excessive use of dairy-based cornmeal batters in restaurant versions of fried okra; instead, she lightly coats her okra, allowing the beauty and taste of the vegetable to shine in each mouthful.

Steps:
- Wash the okra, and place aside, leaving the okra slightly wet. Cut the okra crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces and place in a large bowl. Season the okra with the salt, adding more to taste.
- Pour the cornmeal over the okra. Using both hands, firmly grip the bowl, and shake it until all the okra pieces are coated. If too dry, add a little water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and, if needed, more cornmeal can be added. Lightly press the okra with your hands, making sure that the cornmeal sticks to the okra. Toss the okra again. All the pieces should be coated evenly, with a light layer of cornmeal - but the okra shouldn't be obscured.
- In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. You can determine if the oil is ready by dropping a pinch of cornmeal into it; the oil should sizzle, but not smoke. (If it's not hot enough, the okra will soak up the oil.)
- Once the oil is ready, working in two batches to avoid crowding, drop half the okra into the hot oil and cook it, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, until golden and crisp. Using a slotted spoon or spider, remove the okra to a plate covered with a paper towel to drain excess oil. Repeat with remaining okra, and serve immediately.

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.

- Wash your Okra well to get rid of any impurities. Once you have washed them, dry each okra individually well and keep them on a dry counter space. This step is important as water reacts with the cut open okra and hence forms slime.
- To prepare the okra, cut off the ends. Cut the okra into bite-sized pieces or 2 inch long pieces. Keep aside.
- Grab a frying pan/skillet, add the oil and heat up. Throw in your onion slices and cook soft. Then continue to add the chopped garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
