Fried Okra
1 pound fresh okra
1/2 cup cornmeal
Cajun seasoning to taste
oil, bacon grease, lard, or a mixture
Wash the okra. Cut off the ends and slice the rest into rounds. Mix the cornmeal and Cajun seasoning in a small paper sack. Put the okra inside the
bag, close the top, and shake until the okra is totally coated with the cornmeal. Put the okra in hot oil in an iron skillet and cook, stirring
occasionally, until done.
