Fried Okra & Green Tomatoes

Fried Okra & Green Tomatoes 12 oz. pkg. frozen cut up okra, thawed 1 large green tomato, chopped in large pieces 3/4 C. buttermilk all purpose flour vegetable oil for frying salt Put the thawed okra and chopped tomato in a bowl and stir in the buttermilk. Cover and put in the fridge for at least 1 hour. When ready to fry, remove from the fridge and drain off the buttermilk. Put about a cup of flour in a ziploc bag, add a couple handfuls of okra & tomatoes to the bag and shake to coat. With a deep fryer heated to 350 degrees, use your hand to get the okra & tomatoes from the baggies, shaking off excess flour and carefully dropping in the oil. Fry just until golden and remove to a paper towel lined pan (make sure the pan is big enough so the okra doesn't lay on top of one another, this is key to is remaining crispy). Continue frying (adding more flour to the baggie as needed), in batches. Once done, sprinkle lightly with salt before serving.
