What's one of the best parts of living in the South? Well, besides rocking chair front porches, SEC football, and the word y'all. Summer vegetables! It's late summer and our tomatoes are in full bloom!
What to do with a kitchen full of fresh veggies? Fry em up! Here's a peak at last night's supper.
Fresh off the vine tomates, for slicing:
Chopping some fresh okra (not from our garden, but a neighbors!) to fry in a corn meal mix:
Frying up some green maters in the same corn meal mixture. I use a little extra virgin olive oil, some salt and pepper and that's it!! Yes, they tasted as good as they look!
Have any of you cooked up some garden fresh vegetables lately? Extra points if the veggies came from your own garden!
I'm sharing with Rhoda's summer recipe party.
Yipee...Kaity and Abby got props! They had an amazing time with you guys. I have never tried fried tomatoes, but the other day I ate a fried pickle...less than impressed...not sure why everything has to be fried. Not a true southerner, I know, but then again, I've lived here my whole life...so who knows!?!
