A comfort food from the deep south. If using fresh ingredients, it's 2 cups sliced okra and 2 cups sliced tomatoes.

This was a yummy, easy, and nonslimy way to prepare okra that is so much better for you than frying! I only used 1 T butter and it worked out just fine. I do think this serves closer to 4 as a hearty side dish than 6. Thanks for posting!

I like okra but husband only eats it fried but he ate this and said it was pretty good. It was a quick and easy dish. I fried my okra a little bit with the onion before I added the tomatoes so the okra wouldn't have a slimy texture. Thanks Tebo. Bullwinkle

I had a hankering for okra, but since I'm doing Weight Watchers I needed to find a healthy way to eat it. This was great! The only changes I made was to use a little less butter and added a couple cloves of garlic. Quick and delicious!
