Pan Fried Okra
4 tbsp self rising flour
1 tbsp cornmeal
1 lb fresh okra, sliced thinly
Vegetable oil

Heat a thin layer of vegetable oil in a frying pan. Combine okra, flour, and cornmeal in a Ziploc bag and shake and massage until okra is coated. I normally season the flour mixture just a bit with salt and pepper. Test your oil with one piece of okra and make sure it bubbles up and starts frying. Carefully add your okra, trying to avoid getting excess flour in the oil. You may have to work in batches. Fry for 8-10 minutes until golden brown on all sides, flipping over when the first side browns. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Season with salt and pepper or try Cajun seasoning!
