Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Ingredients

Wash the okra under running water and trim the ends. Slice the okra into 1-inch pieces. Dice the onion and tomatoes, and mince the garlic.

2

Sauté the Aromatics

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant and the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3

Cook the Okra

Add the sliced okra to the skillet and stir well. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the okra is tender but still bright green.

4

Add Tomatoes and Seasoning

Stir in the diced tomatoes, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes are softened and the mixture is well combined.

5

Finish and Serve

Remove the skillet from heat, stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley. Serve warm as a side dish or over rice.
