Here’s what’s cookin’ Fried Okra
Recipe from the kitchen of Jan Marwitz
Serves 6
Ingredients
- 1 ½ to 2 lbs. fresh cut okra
- ½ tsp. salt and pepper
- ½ cup corn meal
- 4 Tbsp. bacon fat
Directions
Wash, drain, cut tip and stem of okra. Cut okra across about ¼ inch rounds.
Season with salt and pepper, roll in corn meal.
Cook in fat until tender and crisp brown.
Notes
- The word transcribed as "stem" is written on the card as "steam" — almost certainly a slip of the pen, since "cut tip and stem" is what the step describes.
