Sherby's Cornmeal Fried Okra

---

This is my daddy's recipe, if you want to call it that. it's the way that he cooks our fresh okra when we ask him to fry it. i like it much better than flour dipped okra as you seem to get more taste.

Steps

---

Mix your cornmeal and salt well in a gallon sized ziploc bag.

---

Add okra , about 1 1 / 2 cups at a time.

---

Close bag and shake to cover okra completely with cornmeal mixture.

---

Fry in a cast iron skillet in vegetable or corn oil until okra floats and turns a light brown.

---

Watch this carefully as once it begins to brown , it does so very quickly.

---

Repeat process until all okra is fried.
