~Sky Fried okra 1 pound of small okra pods, cut into 1/2 inch slices 1/2 cup of cooking oil, more or less, divided 3/4 cup of all purpose cornmeal 1/4 cup of all purpose flour Kosher salt, freshly cracked black pepper and Cajun seasoning (optional), to taste Instructions Rinse okra in a colander and let drain. Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Combine the cornmeal, flour, salt and pepper and Cajun seasoning, if using, in a paper bag or medium sized bowl. Toss the okra to coat evenly and transfer to the skillet using a large slotted spoon to shake off excess. Cook in batches, allowing to fry on one side until lightly browned, then begin to stir fry, moving the okra around the skillet and scraping the bottom of the skillet to avoid burning. Transfer to paper towels to drain and sprinkle with sea salt or kosher salt, to taste. Prepare next batch, adding additional oil to skillet as needed between batches. Serve hot.
