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.

Drizzle over the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the okra is tender, browned, and crispy, about 15 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

HEARTY CREOLE OKRA AND TOMATOES
A great Southern okra dish that allegedly comes from the heart of Acadiana. This vegetable dish is heavy enough to serve as a main dish and makes one pine for the fiddles and chicory coffee.

FRIED OKRA WITH RéMOULADE
"Fresh, never frozen" - that's Joseph J. Boudreaux III's motto when it comes to making the best fried okra. The Tipping Point Coffee co-owner and Houston home cook believes fried okra relies on fresh okra pods and a righteous cornmeal breading. Paired with a creamy rémoulade that's infused with a bit of heat, Mr. Boudreaux's fried okra recipe pays homage to his father, who grows the flowering plant right in his backyard in Texas. It captures all that the South adores about the quintessential summer side: simplicity, ease and plenty of flavor.

Steps:
- Make the rémoulade: In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, Cajun seasoning, vinegar and lemon juice. (Makes about 1 1/2 cups rémoulade.) Cover the sauce and chill it in the fridge until you serve.
- Prepare the okra: Pour oil into a large pot with high sides and a lid, to a depth of a few inches. Heat oil over medium-high to 350 degrees.
- While the oil is heating, combine the buttermilk and hot sauce in a large bowl. Place the cut okra into the buttermilk mixture and stir to coat.
- In a large bowl, stir the flour, cornmeal, Cajun seasoning and cayenne.
- Working in 4 separate batches, dredge the soaked okra in the cornmeal mixture using your hands. Shake off the excess flour and place the okra onto a wire baking rack. After one to two dredgings of okra, use your hands or a slotted spoon to sift the flour and cornmeal mixture, removing any clumps. Finish coating the remaining okra.
- Working in about 4 batches, making sure to not crowd the pot, fry the okra, stirring frequently, until crispy and golden, about 4 minutes. (Take care not to burn it.)
- Remove okra using a spider and allow the okra to drain on two plates covered with paper towels. Immediately season okra with sea salt. Serve immediately with the chilled rémoulade.

- Mix the yogurt and milk. Put the okra cylinders into the yogurt/milk mixture and cover them. Leave them in the mixture for 5 minutes.
- Gently move the okra pieces to the cornmeal and spoon the cornmeal over them until they are completely covered. Using the spoon (not your hands as the yogurt/milk mixture topped with cornmeal is soft and will dislodge off the okra if you handle it too much), put the okra pieces on a plate in a single layer.
- Put 2 layers of paper towels on the second plate and put it next to the stove. Remember my recent fire misadventure. Keep the paper towels far enough away from flame that they can’t catch on fire!)

- 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.
