Okra and Tomatoes image

This is a recipe that my sister-in-law made for us during our visit with them in Kansas. I'm not sure where she found the recipe.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 Tbsp olive oil
2-3 clove minced garlic
1 c chopped onion
1 c bell pepper, cut in bite size pieces
2 c okra, cut (fresh or frozen)
14 1/2 oz diced tomatoes
8 oz tomato sauce
2 tsp sugar
1 c water
1 tsp louisiana cajun seasoning

Steps:

  • 1. In a large skillet; Saute garlic in the olive oil for 1-2 minutes.
  • 2. Add onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Saute 3-4 minutes.
  • 3. Add okra to the skillet mixture. Saute 4-5 minutes
  • 4. Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, sugar and cajun seasoning. Simmer until vegetables are crisp tender.
  • 5. Her original recipe called for 2 cups of tomato juice. I don't normally keep that on hand so I substituted tomato sauce, sugar and a little water. This is really good warmed up the next day.
