Wow, that’s great! I had to “grow into” okra my own self. Fried was first, then pickled, sometimes gumbo - but stewed? No way!! Love it fried, tho!

This is the recipe for "Kayes Okra Fry Bread" and it was Paula Deen so it's no wonder it's good southern cooking.

1 cup cornmeal

1 cup self-rising flour

2 teaspoons salt

2 1/2 cups water

1 (16-ounce) bag whole okra, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds

1/2 cup chopped Vidalia onions

1 tablespoon clarified butter, plus more as needed

In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour and salt. Whisk in water to make a thin batter. Stir in okra and onions. Over medium heat, add clarified butter to a cast iron skillet. Use a small ladle to pour batter onto skillet. Pan should be hot enough to make batter sizzle. Cook until underside is browned, about 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and brown on the other side. Repeat with additional batter, adding more butter as necessary.

You don’t like okra and tomatoes stewed with plenty of onions? Yum! That’s different than just plain boiled okra.
