Fried Okra and Green Tomatoes

Our friend Jason taught me how to make this recipe. It's an easier way to enjoy fried green tomatoes. Simply chop a green tomato at the same time you slice the okra. Toss the veggies in a cornmeal-flour mixture, and then fry until crispy. I served this dish with Mashed Potatoes and corn on the cob as a veggie plate. Enjoy!
