Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Put the whole ears of corn into the oven (do not shuck the corn) and cook until the outside is charred and the inside feels soft when pressed, about 30 minutes. When it is cool enough to handle, pull out the silk and remove the husk. Cut the kernels off the cob and set aside.
- If using frozen okra, put it into a strainer and run it under cool water for a few minutes to thaw. Remove the stems from the okra and cut them into thirds. Heat 1 tablespoon each of butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the onion until it begins to soften, then add the corn, okra, and thyme. Cook for 1 minute and set aside.
- Butter a 13-inch by 9-inch pan with 1 tablespoon butter. Bring the water to a boil in a large saucepan and add 1 teaspoon salt. Gradually sprinkle in the corn meal, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. When it is all incorporated, stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and the sauteed vegetables. Reduce the heat to low, season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, to taste, and cook for 10 minutes stirring occasionally. Pour into the buttered dish and let cool.
- Slice the cooled cornmeal into squares and serve. You can also fry the cornmeal squares for a few minutes in butter or olive oil to make them crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.

- In another large flat bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, garlic, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, parsley, and salt. Drain the okra and toss in cornmeal mixture.
- Heat half an inch of oil, about 2 cups, in cast iron skillet over medium heat. Test to see if oil is ready by putting in one piece of okra and see if it sizzles - It should be a slow sizzle, but not too slow. I don't use a thermometer but if you do, it should be about 350 to 375 degrees.

- Drizzle okra with olive oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle with cornmeal and salt and pepper to taste. Okra tastes best with plenty of salt! You can also toss the okra in the cornmeal for more even coverage, or just sprinkle the cornmeal on top. Either way works.
