For the Buttered Okra

Method

Preparing the Herbed Tartar Sauce

  1. 1

    Make the Tartar Sauce

    In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, dill pickles, capers, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Preparing the Warm Black-Eyed Pea Salad

  1. 2

    Combine Salad Ingredients

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced red onion and bell pepper; sauté until softened. Add cooked black-eyed peas, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir until warm and combined. Remove from heat.

Preparing the Buttered Okra

  1. 3

    Cook the Okra

    In a separate skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced okra and sauté until tender. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Cooking the Potato Crusted Catfish

  1. 4

    Prepare the Catfish

    Peel and grate the potatoes. In one bowl, set up a breading station with flour, a second bowl with beaten eggs and milk, and a third bowl with grated potatoes mixed with salt and pepper. Dip each catfish filet in flour, then in the egg mixture, and finally coat with the grated potatoes.

  2. 5

    Pan-Fry the Catfish

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded catfish filets. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
