PAN-SEARED OKRA WITH BACON
Okra is a staple in Gullah cooking, and let me tell you, give me a cast-iron skillet and I'm a happy girl. It's the perfect pan for giving that okra its crispy, roasted exterior. Paired with bacon...shoot, it's downright delicious. My secret for un-slimy okra? A squeeze of lemon juice.

Steps:
- Cook the bacon in a large cast-iron skillet until crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove to paper towels to drain, reserving the drippings in the skillet.
- Add the okra to the drippings in the skillet. Add the canola oil if the skillet is dry. Sprinkle with the House Seasoning, and toss to coat. Saute until crispy and golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Squeeze the juice from the lemon over the top of the okra. Crumble the bacon over the top and sprinkle with freshly ground pepper. Serve right from the skillet.
- Stir together the garlic and onion powders, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

SIMPLE FRIED OKRA
With only a few ingredients and about 10 minutes, you can enjoy light, crispy okra anytime. I prefer okra with a light flour coating versus corn meal. I want to taste the okra -- not the breading! Fried okra, a country staple, is best served hot alongside thick-sliced summer tomatoes.

FRIED OKRA
Nothing says "Southern" like the smell of okra frying in a cast-iron skillet atop an angry flame. Done right, everybody loves okra. I have been known to turn the most fervent okra haters into okra lovers. Herbs and spices and the right cooking techniques can really change the experience and flavor. As an adult, I grilled okra for the first time, and added it to hushpuppies that turned into okra fritters. I've made okra relish and-dare I say it-jalapeño-okra jam and okra dip. You tell me you don't like okra, then boy, do I have a few recipes for you.

Steps:
- Place the okra in a medium bowl. Season with the cayenne and salt and black pepper. Toss with the buttermilk until well coated and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes; drain well.
- Fill a large cast-iron skillet with oil to a depth of 1/2 inch. Heat over medium-high heat to 350°F.
- Combine the cornmeal, rice flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge the okra in the cornmeal mixture, shaking off any excess. Working in batches to avoid crowding the skillet, add to the hot oil and fry, turning once, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on a crumpled brown paper bag or paper towels.
- Serve immediately.

- Prepare okra by trimming both ends and discarding. Cut okra into bite size pieces. Put into a bowl.
- Heat 6 tbsp of olive oil on medium-high heat in a large skillet. Oil should just cover the bottom of the skillet. You may need a little more or less olive oil depending on the size of your skillet.
- While oil is heating, sprinkle salt, pepper and cornmeal over the prepared okra. Gently toss to coat all of the okra.
- Use a slotted spoon to move coated okra to the hot oil. (If you just dump the bowl, you run the risk of dumping any extra meal at the bottom of the bowl into the oil and it may burn.) Make sure the okra is in one layer. If you have more okra than your pan will hold in one layer, cook it in two batches.

- Place un-cut okra pods in a bowl of cold water. Place 1 to 2 cups plain white cornmeal (not self-rising) in a plastic bag. Drain and discard tip and stem end of okra pod. Slice into 1/4-inch slices directly into the cornmeal. Shake bag often to coat each piece well. Depending on the amount of okra you are preparing, start 1/3 to 1/2 cup shortening to melt in a heavy skillet over medium high heat. When all the okra is well coated with cornmeal, place in a sieve and shake gently to remove excess cornmeal.
- Test the pan for correct heat by placing 1 slice of okra in the hot shortening. If it sizzles, the pan is hot enough. Place the remaining okra into the skillet. Cover the skillet. Allow the okra to fry 3 to 5 minutes. Uncover and turn gently. Cover and continue to fry, checking and turning as needed until okra is quite brown and very crisp. Salt to taste. Place 2 or 3 crumpled paper towels in a serving bowl. Remove okra to towels and allow to drain well.
