Ingredients
  • 2½ cups okra, chopped
  • 1 large tomato, skinned, chopped
  • 1 medium onion
  • ½ green bell pepper, finely chopped
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, add chopped okra.
  2. Cook until the slime has disappeared.
  3. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper.
  4. Cook until onion, bell pepper and okra are tender. The onion should be translucent and the bell pepper really soft.
  5. Add the fresh tomato. I skin my tomato by placing it in hot water for a minute. The peelings should come right off.
  6. Cook until the vegetable mixture is smothered and saucy. Do not add water. You may need to add a little more oil if your vegetables are sticking to the skillet. I use very little oil because I have a super-duper nonstick skillet.
