Southern Okra

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min. YIELD: 6 servings.
This recipe dates back generations in my family. I enjoy it so much because I can use the fresh vegetables that are so abundant here in the South.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sliced fresh okra
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 medium green pepper, chopped
  • 3 medium tomatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • Cooked rice, optional

Directions

  • 1. Place okra in a small saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 7-10 minutes or until tender.
  • 2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and green pepper; cook and stir until tender, 4-7 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, sugar, flour, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir until tomatoes are tender and juices are slightly thickened, 3-5 minutes.
