    3                    Tomatoes, or 1 (#2) can

      Use large alumionum pot,  not iron. Wash, stem and
   cut okra into 1/2" pcs.  Season with salt and pepper.
   Smother okra in as little oil as possible.  When
   almost done, add onion.  Cook until tender, add
   tomatoes. Let simmer, add remaining ingredients and
   simer until done.  If there is a favorite vegetable of
   the South, it is surely okra.  Gumbo gets its name
   from the Choctaw Indian word 'Kombo' for any thick
   soup made with okra.
