    This 77 yr old Texas grandma grew up eating this yummy dish. I’d fight off anybody who tried to take all the well done pieces. My grandma (😂called her mama) made all the glorious southern dishes and her cast “arn” skillet was her prize kitchen tool.

    My mom was a southern lady and she always fried it like that except she always added flour with the corn meal yum yum yum

    Living in the Uk, looking for a ladyfinger ( okra, they dont use the name "okra" over here so much)recipe ...and being a native Eufaulian from Alabama, Iinstantly recognized the accent. This is exactly what I was looking for in an okra recipe. Thanks so much for reminding me of my old home far away.......

    I love okra prepared any way. Thanks for showing how easy this is. That whole skillet would have been a perfect serving for me. God bless you!

    This is literally the only TRUE southern fried okra I have ever seen on TH-cam. This is the kind of fried okra you gonna get here in Mississippi!! Only difference is we cook way more than 1 pound at a time..

    I love love okra! A highly underrated vegetable. I used to help pick in grandads garden when little. It’s a must in vegetable soup as well. Great video! 👍👍

      Your comment hit home. I used to pick okra in both my maternal and paternal great grandparents' gardens when I was a wee sprout. My maternal great grandmother let me pick and shell green beans (under her carport on hot days!) as well. My dad's grandfather taught me how to place fish pieces in the ground for growing corn; his stalks were among the tallest I've ever seen.

    I hated fried okra as a kid and would put a little lemon juice on it. This is how my family fried it. Thank goodness I grew up and now its my FAVORITE FOOD😂
    I still love a little fresh lemon juice on it😂 I’m glad to see a lot of other people who fry it this way😘

      It’s a lighter version of the traditional deep fried, but oh so good!!!!

    I'm from Oklahoma and you cooked that okra like one of us country ladies. I sometimes add a can of stewed tomatoes, a d a can of drained while kernel corn and it's just delicious. Glad I found your channel. ❤️

    It took me a long time to like okra. It was often slimy, or, if my Southern mother fried it, it was so overcookrd that it was like trying to eat pebbles, but once I had it properly cooked, I loved it, Great recipe!

    I was admiri your Artichokes and how you had them displayed. Adorable. I would bet they came from my Home Town, Salinas. We grow most of the vegetables her in The Salinas Valley. Also many Wines❤

    That’s exactly how my Mom use to fry okra back on the farm in the hills of SW Virginia (Appalachian area). It’s the best tasting okra ever. You are right .. she would test the Okra by slightly cutting into it with her knife … if it didn’t cut, she threw it in slop jar for the hogs.

    As a Sri Lankan the only way I’ve really had okra is in curry or salad (it’s super good, we take it and some bitter melon, fry till crispy then mix with fresh red onions and green chilli) but let me tell you when my mouth started watering😭 that looks so good and all I’m craving right now is some proper southern fried chicken, honey glazed carrots, okra and cornbread😋 ugh😫 sounds so good right about now

    It's been about 50 years since I've had fried okra, I absolutely loved it, my best friend his wife's family was from Tennessee, and when I went to visit, they cooked up a batch of okra for lunch, and it was absolutely delicious. A question, you said, you wash the okra, How do you deal with the slime? You said you wiped it off and then you just coded it with cornmeal and salt and pepper, how is it sticking to the okra? I've seen frozen okra at my grocery store and I might have to try it again. I was just curious how to deal with the slimy portion of it. Thank you for your presentation! 10:09

      Good fresh okra is not slimy until you cook it. This recipe is a very light coating verses the batter fried version. I love both!

    @chathamcrescent 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I love skillet fried okra, and yours looks great! I know it's not healthy, but I use bacon drippings instead of vegetable oil when making it. 😋 Also, I use flour too. I will try your much healthier version soon!

    My grandma made fried okra in the skillet. Deep fried is ok, but it’s not as good as skillet fried! I always like the little black pieces! They were really crunchy!

    • @kathyssouthernkitchen302
      @kathyssouthernkitchen302  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Me too! If I order fried okra at a restaurant I always ask them to make it extra crispy ❤️

    Could I trouble you to tell me what brand/size your electric cooking eye is? I’m having a hard time finding one that can handle that size of cast-iron pan. (I like to fry things on my back porch so I don’t mess up my kitchen with the grease).
    Thank you!!

    • @kathyssouthernkitchen302
      @kathyssouthernkitchen302  ปีที่แล้ว

      Absolutely! I have 4 of these! I highly recommend it. They are $10 off right now.

    this is how you do fried Okra. You don't deep fry it. You have a very thin layer of oil and turn the okra You go to restaurants and it's "deep fried" which is fine but nothing compares to Okra that has been turned in a cast iron. Fried okra should be work vs just sticking it in a deep fryer. Too many people around the country "deep fry" stuff vs "frying" it. Squash, okra, chicken, green tomatoes, catfish should never be deep fried but fried one side at a time in a thin layer of oil. Deep fried is for lazy people.

    Unfortunately I don’t live in an area where I cant get fresh okra, only frozen. Can I still make fried okra with frozen? How would I do it? Thank you

    I like it fried a LOT LONGER and darker. I use a little more bacon grease and it crisps more
