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.

Ingredients

• 1 lb okra
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 2 cups self-rising cornmeal
• oil

Instructions

1. Rinse okra and slice. Discard stems and tips.
2. Pour buttermilk over sliced okra; cover and chill 30 minutes.
3. Remove okra from buttermilk. Dredge okra in cornmeal.
4. Pour oil to a depth of 2 inches in a Dutch oven or large skillet. Heat oil to 375 degrees. Fry okra in batches until golden brown, about 4 minutes.
