A Tennessee Summer Meal

This is one of our favorite summertime meals, all from local farmers – no garden for me this year.

I thought I should post the recipes for you non-Southerners J

Fried Okra

Sliced okra

Cornmeal

S&P to taste

Crisco for frying (no substitute)

Fry until golden brown, turning often

Fried Corn

Corn, cut from the cob

S&P to taste

Butter for frying

Cook until warmer through, turning often

Green beans

Beans of your choice, this was a mixture

Country ham hocks

Chopped onion and garlic

S&P to taste

Water to cover

Cook until beans are soft – Bev used the pressure cooker

Watermelon for dessert

It was delicious and the previous night we had boiled new potatoes, corn on the cob, and green beans.  It’s not gourmet, but plain ole food is darned hard to beat – we may eat some meat tomorrow.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.
