Preparation

  1. Cook the okra according to package directions, then rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking, and drain. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil, then the onions, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté until the onions turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the okra, tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt, and black pepper. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer to heat through, 4 to 5 minutes.
