I remember these as a child. Never did develop a taste for the okra, but sure loved the green tomatoes. This recipe comes from Southern Living magazine. Ingredients:
1 cup buttermilk |
1 large egg |
1 1/2 cups cornmeal |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 lb fresh okra, sliced |
3 green tomatoes, sliced 1/2 inch (see note below) |
vegetable oil |
Directions:
1. Whisk together buttermilk and egg.
2. Combine cornmeal, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and pepper.
3. Dip okra and tomatoes, in batches into buttermilk mixture; coat in cornmeal mixture.
4. Into dutch oven pour oil to a depth of 3 inches and heat to 375 degrees.
5. Fry okra and tomato, in batches, 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. (Turning too soon will cause breading to fall off).
6. Drain on paper towels; sprinkle with salt.
7. *red tomatoes can be substituted for green tomatoes if desired.
