Stewed Tomatoes and Okra


This is one of Sweet Harold's favorites that I make for him every summer when the tomatoes are at their best. It's also another recipe that I believe I make differently each time!  So let's just say here is this year's version.

2 T. olive oil
1/2 yellow onion chopped
1 small jalapeno, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
3 cups of chopped ripe tomatoes
3 cups okra pods, ends trimmed and sliced 1/4" thick
salt and pepper to taste
1 T. Worcestershire sauce

In a medium saucepan (mine was 3 quarts), add olive oil over medium-high heat. 

Saute onion and jalapenos for 3 - 5 minutes until they begin to soften.  Next, add in tomatoes, okra, S & P, and Worcestershire sauce.  Lower the heat so that the mixture simmers for 30-40 minutes. Taste and add additional S & P, if needed.

    When we do okra and tomatoes we call it okra gumbo.
