Spicy Okra

If you like okra, try this. My mother use to make okra like but without the chile's. This Recipe comes from Gourmet Magazine.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2 (10 ounce) packages frozen cut okra
• 1  tablespoon canola oil
• 1  medium onion, coarsely chopped
• 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1  fresh habanero pepper, pierced 3 times with a fork (if habanero is to hot use serrano or jalapeno chile instead)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. Rinse okra in a colander under hot water.
2. (Rinsing okra gives it a cleaner taste and texture.) Heat oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onion, stirring until golden, about 3 minutes.
3. Add tomatoes (including juice) and chile and boil, stirring until tomatoes are softened and liquid is reduced by half, 5 to 10 minutes.
4. Add okra and cook, gently stirring, until okra is tender, about 5 minutes.
5. Stir in salt and pepper and discard chile.
