Two Southern staples in one dish, what could be better! Serve this with mixed greens and barbequed chicken.

Ingredients:

2 cups water
2 cups okra
1 cup white cornmeal
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup soft butter

Directions:

1	In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil, add okra and cook for about 10 minutes. Remove the okra with a slotted spoon and set aside.
2	Using the same saucepan, increase heat until the water boils briskly. Slowly add the cornmeal, stirring continuously to prevent lumping.
3	Add the salt and okra. Cook and continue stirring for 10 to 12 minutes.
4	Remove from heat and add the butter a piece at a time, stirring after each addition, until all the butter is incorporated. Serve hot.
5	ENJOY!
