So how's this for a fried okra recipe:

2 to 3 cups okra, sliced 1/4 inch thick,
1 green tomato chopped,
1 onion chopped,
1 to 2 banana peppers chopped,
approximately 1/2 cup of white corn meal,
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil.

Dredge together all vegetables with corn meal and black pepper. Heat cast iron skillet with olive oil, then add ingredients. Fry over hot stove, stirring occasionally, until golden brown (some will blacken). When done, pour into bowl lined with paper towel to absorb any oil remnants. Each person can salt his own serving to taste.

To die for!

Why are you ruining a perfectly good receipe with tomato? I love tomatoes, but on the side.

throw out the peppers and the tomatoes and double the okra and it's about right.
