This is a channel I have ben looking for. Southern cooking by a classy southern lady. Love it!
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!
Oooomygoodness, your the bomb!!!!
Bless your heart , thank you for your video .
I bought okra for the first time today , needed recipes and your vid came out 🙏.
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.......
We love Eufaula. I'm glad I could bring you a little taste of home. ❤️
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!
You and me both! ❤️
I make it just like this and wouldn’t have it any other way! Simple is best when it comes to okra!
I couldn't agree more❤️
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 love me some okra and simple rice like nobody’s business! Thank you very much!
Fantastic recipe! One to try tonight with some bean burgers. 😋
Yum!!!!
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❤
How wonderful💕💕💕
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.
Sweet memories ❤️❤️❤️
I love it deep fried as well but my favorite is just like you just made it in a cast iron skillet ! Yum
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!
Me too! If I order fried okra at a restaurant I always ask them to make it extra crispy ❤️
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. ❤️
Welcome to my channel! I love okra and tomatoes! Yum!
My kind of okra
Yep that’s the way to go❤(add onions to the mix for a good flavor)
Love OKRA.
I call it "Smothered" without any corn, or flour...just onions & okra Smothered is what I was looking for..
I love pickled okra !
Me too!
I'm looking forward to making this 😋👍
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.
I tried it your way and I loved it!
Yay!!! Thanks so much for sharing ❤️
Me too, any way I can get it except raw from the garden 😂
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’m so sorry. But only fresh will work for this.
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!!
Absolutely! I have 4 of these! I highly recommend it. They are $10 off right now.
