Ingredients

1 kilo okra - also called ladies fingers

1/3 cup vinegar

1/2 cup of olive oil

1/2 cup of chopped parsley

2 onions, sliced

1 clove of garlic

2 cups of fresh ripe tomatoes or 1 can of whole tomatoes blended

Salt and pepper

Directions

Peel stem of okra but do no cut it all off. Dip it in salt and when done sprinkle okra with a few spoonfuls of wine vinegar. Set aside (for 1 hour approx.) preferably in a sunny spot, if possible, while you prepare the rest. (If using frozen okra skip this step).

In a non stick frying pan, slightly sauté the okra and remove with slotted ladle in a sauce pan.

Chop onions and garlic and sauté them in the remaining olive oil till translucent.

Add the tomatoes, parsley, salt and pepper.

Simmer for five minutes and pour the sauce on top of the okra.

Add some more water (about 1 glass), and simmer (without stirring as they will break) for about 30 minutes or until okra are tender, and sauce is nice and thick.
