Method
Preparation
Prepare the Okra
Wash the okra thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a clean towel. Trim the ends of the okra and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
Cooking
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
Cook the Okra
Add the chopped okra to the skillet and stir well. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the okra is tender.
Add Tomatoes and Bell Pepper
Stir in the diced tomatoes and bell pepper. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Cook for another 5-10 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and the flavors meld.
Serve
Remove from heat and serve warm. This dish can be served as a side or over rice for a complete meal.
