-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 c Water
6 Pods fresh, tender okra
1 c White cornmeal
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 c Butter, cut into pieces
Bring the water to a gentle boil in a 3-quart
saucepan, add okra and cook for about 10 minutes.
Remove the okra with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Raise the heat under the saucepan so the water boils
briskly. Add the cornmeal in a thin, steady stream,
stirring all the while to prevent lumping. Add the
salt and okra; cook, stirring for 10 to 12 minutes.
Remove from heat and add the butter a piece at a time,
stirring after each addition, until all the butter is
incorporated. Keep stirring until this okra has
practically disappeared and the cornmeal is light.
Correct seasoning and serve hot.
Serves 4.
