Okra, Corn, and Tomatoes

This was the "Recipe of the Day" in today's email from a local grocery store. I am posting it so I remember it when my okra and tomatoes are ready (I'll have to buy the corn!). I have to guess on the prep and cooking times since the recipe says it takes 45 minutes total to make, yet gives no definite times within the recipe.

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 1  tablespoon butter or 1  tablespoon margarine
• 1  tablespoon  vegetable oil
• 12  ounces fresh okra, cut into thin rounds
• 2  ears corn, kernels cut off
• 2  tomatoes, chopped
•  salt
•  fresh ground pepper

Directions

1. Heat butter and oil in a medium-size saucepan.
2. Add okra; cook, stirring occasionally, until okra no longer forms "strings."
3. Stir in corn and tomatoes.
4. Simmer, covered, over low heat until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
5. Season with salt and pepper.
