Zucchini Pasta and Fried Okra - a great supper for the hot days of summer!
Pasta:
Boil 3/4 lb spaghetti according to directions.
Grate zucchini (3-4 cups) and Parmesan cheese (3/4 cup), and chop fresh mint (2 T), and mix this with 4 T butter in with the pasta while still warm.
Fried Okra:
Place canola oil in cast iron skillet and heat over med-high about 10 minutes...
Buy fresh okra and slice thinly (1/4 inch slices). Place in a bowl and toss with a generous amount of yellow cornmeal. Using a slotted scoop, gently shake loose excess cornmeal, and place okra into hot oil - not crowding the skillet. Fry until golden brown, remove with same scoop and drain on paper towels - sprinkle with kosher salt. Keep frying in batches until done. (Test oil by dropping in one slice of okra - it should sizzle immediately).
