If you ask most kids what sort of veggies they like, you’ll get a great deal of generic responses such as green beans, corn, or peas. Often you might even get a response like broccoli. However I was constantly various; my preferred veggie has actually constantly been okra. However I’m not discussing the shop purchased kind or the things you constantly order in a dining establishment. I’m speaking about my North Carolina granny’s type of okra. She is the only individual I understand who does up okra in this manner, and she enthusiastically passed her okra dish along to my mother. So let me share this veteran preferred with you and offer you the dish for my Southern “Fried” Okra.

Start by taking a little bowl and integrating the flour, salt, and pepper.

Position your okra in a strainer or colander and wash well. Enable it to dry, eliminating the excess water.

Put the okra into the flour mix and coat with the flour.

Heat your cast iron (or whatever pan you select). I have actually attempted utilizing other kinds of pans, however they simply do not appear to work near too. I truly suggest you utilizing a cast iron frying pan on this Allow the butter to melt prior to including your okra. If you desire this dish to end up even much better, attempt utilizing bacon grease. It is so great for dishes like this and you will not regret it!

Include your okra to the pan and enjoy it turn golden brown. This will spend some time and you wish to ensure that your okra does not stay with the bottom of the pan. The okra needs to be fairly dry inside and start getting dark brown prior to you eliminate it (for finest outcomes).

Serve and delight in!

Do not hesitate to serve it with any of your other Southern favorites like fried chicken and mashed potatoes. Or consume it by itself. It’s so excellent you might not even wish to share????
