Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 slices thick-cut bacon, diced
1 small Vidalia onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, NOT drained ((see note below to use fresh tomatoes instead))
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
1 dried bay leaf
½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cups fresh or frozen okra, stems trimmed and cut into ½ -inch pieces
Salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook bacon until the bacon is starting to get crispy and the fat is rendered, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the onion and garlic; saute for 5 more minutes.
  • Stir in tomatoes (with their juices), sugar, thyme, bay leaf, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. Use the juices from the tomatoes to deglaze the pan, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
  • Add the okra, cover with a lid, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the okra is tender (about 10-12 minutes for fresh okra or 7-8 minutes for frozen okra).
  • Remove the bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.

OKRA AND TOMATOES



Okra and Tomatoes image

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!

Number Of Ingredients 5

salt & freshly ground black pepper
hot sauce (optional)

Steps:

Okra and Tomatoes-A Well-Matched Pair. image

Yield serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 tablespoon salt
1/2 pound tender fresh okra, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup canola oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, cored, seeded, and chopped
2 slices bacon, chopped
One 14 1/2-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
2 packets artificial sweetener (optional)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of the salt and the okra, and boil until tender, 8 to 10 minutes, then drain. As soon as the okra cools enough to handle, remove the stems and cut into chunks. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes, then add the onion, bell pepper, and bacon. Sauté until the onion is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook 5 minutes. Add the okra, artificial sweetener, if desired, black pepper, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook for 5 minutes more to heat through.
