Okra and Tomatoes
From Rachel Perry, United Way Worldwide
Recipe Story
My parents aren't Southern but I've lived all of my adult life in the Southern US. I love fresh vegetables, but not overcooked or overpowered by ham hocks (a standard in this region). I found inspiration in a cookbook for "the new Southern cook," with recipes from the South's best chefs & home cooks. Summer vegetables that still taste like vegetables! (But of course, you have to like okra for this one).
Ingredients
- 1 pint fresh okra, sliced
- 1 pint fresh tomatoes, chopped roughly (or equal amounts in any measure)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Salt & pepper to taste
Directions
Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes. Serve over rice.
