An easy recipe to modify. I will add more veggies and onions next time. I didn't have regular cornmeal so I used self-rising cornmeal. I definitely had to add water to the batter. This was yummy with the cheese added.

More time consuming than I thought, the cornmeal cakes didn't look anything like the picture but they tasted great! Love the combination of flavors .. even the okra!

The recipe combines my favorite flavors of our sultry, so-hot-you-peel-off-your-clothing Alabama summers: okra, tomatoes, corn, basil, and a personal staple, pimento cheese. Make your own pimento cheese. I love how the cheese starts to melt when it hits the hot cake. It's so important to assemble these right away, when the corncake is still hot and crispy. I thought these were summer on a plate. Delicious.
