This recipe was a quick addition for our lunch today. My husband loved it. It reminded me of the fried okra my great grandmother from Texas used to make when I was little. I gave it 4 stars because it is unhealthy. But the recipe was correct and it turned out delicious.

What a waste of fresh garden okra...:( I'm a southerner and this is not the classic southern fried okra! Maybe Luby's has spoiled me, but this ain't it.
