'Tomokra' (Stewed Tomatoes And Okra) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 large onion, chopped
2 lbs fresh okra, sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained

basil, salt and pepper

Preparation

Wah and clean the okra.
Saute onion until tender.
Add okra, garlic, sauce, and tomatoes.

Simmer for about an hour, or until okra is nice and tender, stirring as needed. Stir slowly, because the okra will fall apart.
