Stewed Okra and Tomatoes

Heat a pan on the stovetop to medium-high heat.

Add the oil and tomatoes and saute for 2 minutes until the tomatoes start to wilt.

Turn the heat down to medium. Add the okra and saute for 5 minutes until soft and the slime releases.

Add the garlic, a sprinkle of salt and a splash of water. Let vegetables continue to cook until water is nearly evaporated and the okra is soft.

NOTE: If you’re using frozen okra you probably won’t need the water since water will be released from the melting process.

Taste and add more salt if needed. Serve with your favorite southern-style meal!
