 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2       lb           Fresh Okra
      1/2   c            Olive oil
    1       lg           Onion
    5       lg           Tomatoes, peeled, seeded
    3                    Cloved garlic, halved
    1       t            Sugar
                         Salt and pepper to taste
    1       tb           Lemon juice
 
   Wash okra and cut off any hard stems.  Blanch in
   salted water 3 minutes.
   
   Heat olive oil.  Add onion and cook until translucent.
   Add okra and cook until it begins to soften.  Add
   tomatoes, garlic, sugar, salt and pepper. Cook 2 to 3
   minutes.  Pour in enough water to cover.  Cover and
   simmer about one hour, or until okra is tender.  Stir
   in lemon juice. Serve hot. I especially like this
   recipe using garden fresh ingredients.
