Southern Okra and Tomatoes

My mom and my husband just love okra. Growing up, I loved fried okra, but finally I learned to love fresh healthy stewed okra. Sometimes Drew throws it on the grill in the grill basket, and it gets this tasty chargrilled crust that we both love. But one of my favorite ways to prepare okra now is stewed with tomatoes and some onions and bell peppers. It is sooooooo simple and easy, and full of perfect flavor.


Here's what you need:
1 lb fresh okra
1 28-oz can diced Italian-style tomatoes
1/2 chopped onion
1/2 chopped bell pepper (green)
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce

Cut each piece of okra into 1/4 inch pieces. Lightly saute the onion and pepper in a pan. When softened, add in the tomatoes, tabasco, and chicken broth and bring to boil on medium-high. Stir in the okra and return to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer and stir 10–15 minutes or until okra is tender. Reduce heat to warm until ready to serve.

You're welcome.
