Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 onion, sliced thin
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil plus additional for frying the okra
3 cups fresh corn kernels including the pulp scraped from the cobs (cut from about 4 ears of corn)
1 tomato, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup water
1/4 pound okra, rinsed well and patted dry
cornmeal seasoned with salt and pepper for coating the okra

Steps:

  • In a heavy saucepan cook the onion in the butter and 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until it is golden, add the corn, the tomato, the cream, and the water, and cook the mixture, covered, over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Season the corn mixture with salt and pepper and keep the mixture warm, covered.
  • Cut the okra into 1/4-inch-thick slices, in a bowl toss it with the seasoned cornmeal, and shake it in a coarse sieve to know off the excess cornmeal. In a deep skillet heat 1/2 inch of the additional oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it fry the okra in batches for 1 to 2 minutes, or until it is golden, transferring it with a slotted spoon as it is fried to paper towels to drain. Serve the corn mixture topped with the fried okra.

This is a great recipe for a summer cookout. It's easy to make and can be served as a side dish or a main course. I like to add a little bit of chopped jalapeno to give it a bit of a kick.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my corn and tomatoes turned out mushy. The fried okra was good, but the rest of the dish was a disappointment.
