This is the BEST thing My Mother in law makes and I can't wait for the okra to grow in the summer so I can pair garden fresh okra with garden sweet tomatoes! Yum! A Texas 1015 onion is best here but any sweet onion will do. If you can't get your hands on a sweet onion, try adding just a pinch- LARGE pinch of granulated sugar to the dish. I love to douse this with black pepper but please salt and pepper to taste. Cooked this way you will not have the SLIME issue! Enjoy!

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups sweet onions, chopped
2 1/2 cups okra, sliced
3 medium tomatoes, chopped or 14 ounces diced tomatoes
salt & freshly ground black pepper
hot sauce (optional)

Directions

1
Place all ingredients in a dutch oven and cook over over medium heat until onion and okra is just crisp tender or done to your liking. (Note: USE the juice from the tomatoes as well.).
2
Taste and add salt and pepper as desired.
3
NOTE: Do not salt before the okra and onion are done to your liking. The salt seems to adfd to the slime. Also, stir only as much asa you need to. The more you stir the slimier it can get.
4
Serve with Hot Sauce if desired.
5
OAMC NOTE: This freezes well in any quantity desired. Simply reheat when needed.

This was delish. I served it with Jambalaya (#42412) and cornbread for a delicious meal.

I LOVE okra and tomatoes and I thrilled to see this recipe. My grandmother used to make this all the time and I'd forgotten about it! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting this recipe! Made while travelling through Africa with the Babes. ZWT4

MMMMM okra! What a treat this delicious dish was! This must be served with a bottle of Louisiana hot sauce on the table. This version is better than the one I get at a local Cajun place. Thanks. I'm making a second batch tomorrow because me and Dugan ate it ALL before the night was even over.

My husband, two year old son, and I enjoyed this dish. My husband added parmasean cheese to half of his. My son kept asking for more even though we told him it was gone. I had to show him the dish we served it from that it was empty. It was a simple and sort of comforting dish. I am sure I will make this again.
