SMOTHERED OKRA AND TOMATOES

Smothered Okra and Tomatoes image

I love okra !! yummy. This Recipe has come from watching my aunt as I was a little girl making this delicious concoction, the smell of this cooking oh my!! This recipe comes from south Louisiana, If you have some okra lovers, I suggest doubling this recipe. Also this recipe can be used with squash instead of okra, it is just as delicious as the okra!!! Just don't use the tomatoes with the squash, not unless you would like it that way, but do try the squash once without the tomatoes.

Stove Top Method: Method 1 - Wash fresh okra. Remove stems and cut okra into 1/2 inch rounds. In a heavy saucepan or Magnalite cookware, cook the okra, onions, tomatoes in the oil over medium low heat stirring continually for about 45 minutes to 2 hours (depending on the amount you are cooking) until the okra is no longer slimy and has achieved a light greenish brown color. Don't forget to stir, stir, stir to prevent sticking and burning. Do not use cast iron as the acid in the okra will remove the seasonings in your cast iron pot. Also never warm up any okra dish in a cast iron pot.
Stove Top Method: Method 2 - Some cooks will sauté the onions and bell pepper in one tablespoon of oil until wilted in a separate skillet all the while cooking the okra in a separate pot until the okra is a light greenish brown color . Then will combine the okra, tomatoes, salt and Tabasco; cook for 10 minutes longer or until the tomatoes have cooked down, Again do not forget to stir, stir, stir to prevent sticking and burning.
Check your seasonings and serve as a vegetable side dish, with rice and gravy or make the okra and shrimp gumbo. Cei cest bon!
Oven Method: Method 3 - Preheat oven to 350 degrees. If you're using frozen okra, defrost in a microwave or at room temperature. Using frozen okra from your local supermarket allows you to “pick“ okra anytime saving time and freezer space. They are generally packed in one pound or three pound bags.
