Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 slices thick-cut bacon, diced
1 small Vidalia onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, NOT drained ((see note below to use fresh tomatoes instead))
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
1 dried bay leaf
½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cups fresh or frozen okra, stems trimmed and cut into ½ -inch pieces
Salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook bacon until the bacon is starting to get crispy and the fat is rendered, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the onion and garlic; saute for 5 more minutes.
  • Stir in tomatoes (with their juices), sugar, thyme, bay leaf, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. Use the juices from the tomatoes to deglaze the pan, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
  • Add the okra, cover with a lid, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the okra is tender (about 10-12 minutes for fresh okra or 7-8 minutes for frozen okra).
  • Remove the bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.
