Spicy Stewed Okra and Tomatoes


I love okra.  Fried okra?  Check.  Okra in gumbo?  Check.  Stewed okra......well, not so much.  But after adding lots of seasonings and "extras" I am now a believer in stewed okra and tomatoes. 

4 cups roughly chopped very ripe tomatoes
15 - 20 pods of young tender okra, sliced into 1/4 inch slices
1 t. minced garlic
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 tomatillo, husked, cored and chopped
1 small jalapeno, stemmed, seeded and finely chopped
1/2 t. salt
A few grinds of black pepper

In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients.  Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a gentle simmer.  Let okra and tomatoes cook for an hour or until okra is tender.
