How To Make okra

• 
  Step 1
  When you buy okra, look for ones that are a good green in color and about 3-4 inches long. The smaller ones are more tender.
• 
  Step 2
  Rinse okra and cut off caps. Slice slanted about 1/2" thick and set aside. Take your fresh corn and slice off the kernals from the cobb. Slice your onions and garlic.
• 
  Step 3
  In a skillet, add olive oil and saute sliced onions and garlic until tender. Add the corn to the skillet and cook about 10 minutes.
• 
  Step 4
  Add the okra to the skillet and saute until the okra is almost tender. At this point, slice your plum tomatoes in quarters and add to the skillet.
• 
  Step 5
  Add salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and about 4 tablespoons of chicken stock (or water) and a drizzle of olive oil. Continue cooking and stirring for about 10 minutes.
• Step 6
  Note: You can just make the okra plain with onions and garlic if you prefer or with the addition of the corn and tomatoes.
