Instead of pepper, I use a small diced up potato and I also add corn meal mix instead of flour. I grew up in Arkansas so that may explain the differences. My grandmother did not drive and lived way out in the middle of nowhere and probably just used up what she had as she could not run to the store.

[@audreypiatkins3129]

I was always use to frying okra in cornmeal, but not anymore. I ordered fried okra at my favorite restaurant and had fried okra in flour salt and pepper. It was the best so that’s the way I will cook mine from now own

[@84mobstar]

I'm in Arkansas and most do use corn meal for fried green tomatoes too and I don't like it. I am a buttermilk and flour fried green tomato girl. It's my own mix I make

[@cathyprosser1050]

Oh my goodness! As if just a batch of fried ocra isn't yummy enough, you make a "deluxe" batch with some other veggies! Love that idea and can't wait to try that combination. 😊❤

[@cathyprosser1050]

*okra / and a plate of that okra deluxe is all I'd need on my plate 😊

[@garypostell5268]

Deliciousness indeed yum yum got my mouth watering ❤😅

[@JanetBrown-px2jn]

I was raise in the UK,so I never had okra,after moving to NYC,still no okra,then the area I live saw a big influx of Bengali people,and suddenly okra everywhere,I love it.The Bengali also fry it with tomatoes,and onion,with a medium amount of spices,it’s not one of their spicy dishes.

[@cynthiaharrell2144]

One of my favorite vegetable dishes. My Mother made fried okra all summer long. So lucky to have a Mother with Tennessee roots.❤

[@Es_Elle]

I made this. It is addictive. It's even good cold the next day. My only suggestion to other newbies is to make sure that you season everything well. Like, VERY well. I thought I had, but after tasting the first batch, I had to make adjustments! This recipe is a keeper, Tammy!

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Thanks for sharing!

My Momma would fry squash and green onions with green tomatoes 💗

[@tammyrexroad8020]

Hi Mary I’ll be praying for you on your apartment situation. Keep your chin up…..pray ❤️🙏🏻❤️ God Bless you.

[@HanzLay]

I never fried okra....i should try this recipe...tq for sharing❤️🇧🇳

[@merryworld4776]

🌿Love seeing this recipe.. looks really good. My Mom, (who is now 100 years old) used to make fried okra. She always used cornmeal. She learned to make many yummy 'Southern' dishes from her Mississippi Mother-in-Law. Also, Mom always had that big container of Crisco, in her kitchen. Great memories for me. Thanks! 🌷

[@asiancountrygal1962]

Hi Tammy🙋‍♀My grandmother was from Alabama and made the best fried okra thanks for bringing back some great memories! Glad I came across your channel you're the best cook here on KZbin!

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Oh thanks so much!

[@brendacapps2000]

I add corn meal to my flour

[@dorenenagy564]

That looks delicious. Thank you for posting. I'm going to fix that and my fried chicken livers for supper! Yum💛

[@sharonjarmon6269]

Now that’s some good eating. God bless

[@VictoriaL180]

Yumm! I will make this fried okra delux recipe. It looks and sounds delicious! And I love chicken livers! ❤ thank you for the great idea.

[@jamesoyler7740]

In my family we call it our spring mix, but never tried it with bell pepper 😊

[@leelee88ll.]

Fried okra is one of my absolute favorites! I used to use corn meal to fry okra until I started watching CVC a few years back and now I only use flower it’s a huge difference and so much better!! Especially using flower to fry yellow squash too. Oh yum!

[@debragreen7272]

I like cubed potatoes in mine and in the last turn I add a chopped red tomato! Preferably Roma!

[@tammyreilly9889]

That looks so good!! I love okra!! Love onions, peppers and tomatoes too!! I can’t wait to make this recipe!! Thanks Tammy❤️

[@kboyd116]

I have never had okra fried with the other vegetables…I plan to cook this…it looks so good!

[@marywalker1394]

Absolutely ❤looks delicious I’m adding potatoes!

[@merryworld4776]

Same for me. Always just had fried okra by itself. But, this looks pretty good, too.

[@anntravis6537]

My mom used corn meal but I have seen other people use flour. Looks delicious and southern

[@joycepeoples3690]

Thanks Tammy now I'm going to have to cook me some okra😅 love you girl

[@dianakoontz3518]

The electric element goes off to regulate the temperature, according to the pan you are using, so it doesn't overheat.😊

[@lisar9314]

We used whatever was on hand at the time! But It was always good and filling, stick to it ribs kinda food, i eat my best meals at the poorest times of life. There was no boxed or caned meals, at times we just had hoe cake and gravy maybe slice of mater on side, I thought it sucked back then but now it's one of my favorite meals🤭 or corn bread and milk with a slice of fresh onion oh yeah I'm hungry now! God Bless you and yours!

[@VictoriaL180]

We didn’t have a lot of money growing up and my mom would make fried corn meal loaf with fried spam. We thought we were eating like royalty! And she’s Hungarian! Go figure…

[@patsyc229]

I'll eat anything fried, except Okra, I just don't care for the taste. For the people that love it, ENJOY.

[@LeesaDeAndrea]

Did she say why she used shortening instead of oil?

[@CollardValleyCooks]

It tastes different to me with okra

[@patriciaemeigh4370]

OMG! I love fried okra. Planted some last year but not this year. Fried it up just as Tammy showed. Buttermilk, self rising flour and s&p. Delicious. Even my daughter who often turns up her nose at more unusual things, said it was good!!! Haven’t had okra this summer. Must run out and find some!! Tammy, have ever used the powdered buttermilk? Mix it as you need it. I got some recently but haven’t tried it yet.

[@pampriddy7659]

I’ve never heard of powdered buttermilk but I’m sure gonna be on the lookout for it.

[@morristeeluk9962]

You have a garden? 😮 Sure would love to see content on that! Planting to harvest and preserving!

[@CollardValleyCooks]

This year we only have okra due to the move

[@DebbyMorris14]

1962, you are so right!! Tammy & Chris are the BEST OF THE BEST, on you tube with cooking their recipes, & telling their stories, of life! And they share the Lord, & give him praise & glory for how great God is! I love these two! My “Faves” too!! 👍👏👏👏😁

[@AnnetteMarsh-uo9in]

Girlfriend where's your cast iron skillet?! That creates the best fried anything! But this does look delicious. I'm from Arkansas and I've fried a lot of things with okra, like potatoes and squashes but never thought of adding green tomatoes!

[@sheilabundren2037]

I wish I had seen this yesterday. I just cooked fried okra today. Not nearly as good as mom and dad's. Dad would always fry green tomatoes with the okra. Thanks Tammy.

[@carolwatkins8377]

Can you add cornmeal with the flour?

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Yes

[@aunt_b3365]

Yes! My granma did that sometimes . Especially when just frying okra, squash or tomatoes separately.

[@ermabrown1905]

Hello, Tammy and Chris yummy looking good😋❤

[@pattylevasseur4041]

[@tonyaadams5304]

Thank you Tammy for that great fried okra. My nephew always called it Okra Winfrey when he was a little boy. And still does. It is so delicious. We love the crunch! Have a blessed day. Tonya from Dallas ❤

[@renitameares3838]

For sure

She mixed flour and cornmeal

A cook, & a hairdresser! 😁👏👍. And I’m excited with it being fried okra today!! Yum! My favorite! I like how you added some other things in it! Great flavor I bet!!

[@susanburnett6123]

That looked so good. I am going to fix it. My daughter loves fried okra. By the way I had to fix your spaghetti sauce with marinated mushrooms yesterday. I just love it and I crave it about once a month😂

Sounds great!

Okra coming in strong at our Southern Indiana Farmers' Markets. I go for the smaller ones. Tammy, have you tried this with Homemade “Emeril's Essence” Seasoning Blend? Heavenly! Be great as a side for Chris' catch of the day. 🐟

[@Dena_alvarez-alexander944]

What makes the okra stringy like straw? Am I cooking it wrong?

[@judyabernathy80]

Dena, it could you are choosing okra that is too big, and not tender. Choose the smaller ones, as they are the most tender.

[@CollardValleyCooks]

It is too hard

[@kerriknight5056]

To Old, Pick Okra when it's young and Tender .....

[@25cloud]

Boy that looks good! I’m going to have to hit up the grocery store! Haven’t tweaked the garden yet to survive this Texas roasting we’ve been getting! Thanks for sharing!

Try it. It’s so good.

[@bostonterriermomakasandy9722]

@@judyabernathy80 I definitely will try it, I just don’t know anyone who cooks it and I’ve never seen it in the grocery store. I live in Cleveland Ohio and it’s just not popular here. I’m sure I could get it somewhere. Maybe the grocery store does have it but I would want someone else to cook it for me for the first time. Maybe I’ll just have to go see Tammy and have her cook me some.😂😂😂
