This is a recipe that my sister-in-law made for us during our visit with them in Kansas. I'm not sure where she found the recipe.

How To Make okra and tomatoes

Step 1

In a large skillet; Saute garlic in the olive oil for 1-2 minutes.

Step 2

Add onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Saute 3-4 minutes.
Step 3

Add okra to the skillet mixture. Saute 4-5 minutes
Step 4

Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, sugar and cajun seasoning. Simmer until vegetables are crisp tender.
Step 5

Her original recipe called for 2 cups of tomato juice. I don't normally keep that on hand so I substituted tomato sauce, sugar and a little water. This is really good warmed up the next day.
