This sounds similar to okra gumbo that we like. First I start with several pieces of bacon and fry the onions and bacon. I don't add the onion till the bacon is almost done. I add fresh tomatoes if I have them or a can of diced tomatoes. For seasoning, I use chili powder. I cook this until okra is tender. The bacon is diced and the okra is cut in 3/4 in. pieces or so.
