Fried Okra

A.K.A. Little nuggets of deliciousness! It's hard to find sweet tea in Northern Virginia restaurants, but my local grocery store has okra. Go figure.

These are so easy to make and are a great appetizer or side. I used about six pods of okra for a single serving. Cut off the tips and the tops and then cut them into roughly 3/4" to 1" slices. Heat some canola oil in a small saucepan. Toss the okra with some buttermilk and then toss them in some self-rising corn meal mix until totally coated. Use a fork or slotted spoon to place them in the hot oil. They only need a few seconds to cook, until the coating is a lovely golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place onto a paper towel lined plate. Immediately salt them generously. Pop in your mouth and be happy!
