One of the gems of Southern cuisine… fried okra. My mom made this for me growing up, and so it has a nostalgic quality for me. It’s one of my favorites – because I’m pretty sure that when you fry a vegetable, all the bad things associated with frying gets canceled out… right?? Oh, and it is definitely Brogan’s favorite. He also associates this with my mom (aka Gigi), and even made me call her when I made this for him last week.  This recipe is pretty basic, but I assure you the flavor is not. If you’ve never tried it, you should. Enjoy! Fried Okra 1 lb fresh okra, stems…
