CORNMEAL FRIED OKRA
My grandma used to make us fried okra a lot when I was a child and I loved it. This version comes from the "Soul and Spice" cookbook. My family likes to eat the fried okra with ranch dressing or ketchup but it is equally good on its own.

CRISPY CORNMEAL OKRA
Even if you object to the slippery texture of stewed okra, we think these little fried disks will win you over. Once crisped to a golden brown, fried okra is an irresistible snack enjoyed throughout the Southern United States, including Oklahoma. The chipotle sour cream dipping sauce adds a welcome kick to all the earthy greenness.

Steps:
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350 degrees F.
- Prepare a baking tray lined with paper towels.
- Combine the flour, cornmeal, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder, in a shallow bowl.
- Put the egg whites, and a pinch of salt into another bowl, and whisk until the mixture is frothy. Dip the okra in the egg whites and allow the excess egg whites to drip off, then dip the okra into the flour mixture, shake off the excess flour, and gently drop into the preheated oil.
- Fry the vegetables until golden brown, turning frequently for even color.
- Transfer the fried okra to a tray, lined with paper towels to absorb the excess oil, and season with salt, to taste. Coat, and fry, and season the remaining okra. Serve with the Chipotle Sour Cream.
- Combine the sour cream, lime juice, chopped chipotle pepper, and salt, and pepper, to taste, in a bowl. Mix to incorporate well. Serve the dipping sauce alongside the Crispy Cornmeal Okra.
SHERBY'S CORNMEAL FRIED OKRA
This is my daddy's recipe, if you want to call it that. It's the way that he cooks our fresh okra when we ask him to fry it. I like it much better than flour dipped okra as you seem to get more taste.

Steps:
- Mix your cornmeal and salt well in a gallon sized Ziploc bag.
- Add okra, about 1 1/2 cups at a time.
- Close bag and shake to cover okra completely with cornmeal mixture.
- Fry in a cast iron skillet in vegetable or corn oil (I like corn oil best) until okra floats and turns a light brown.
- Watch this carefully as once it begins to brown, it does so very quickly.
- Repeat process until all okra is fried.
