SMOTHERED OKRA AND TOMATOES




Source of Recipe


Penny


List of Ingredients




2 pounds okra
3 cups chopped onions
2 cups chopped celery
3 cups chopped, peeled, and seeded tomatoes, or 3 cups chopped canned
tomatoes
5 bay leaves
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons chopped garlic



Recipe



Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.

Wash the okra under cool water. Cut off the stems and slice each pod
crosswise into 1/2-inch rounds.

Combine the okra and the rest of the ingredients in a large heavy ovenproof
pot, not cast iron. Mix well. Cover the pot with a lid. Bake, stirring
occasionally, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the slime has disappeared. Bake,
uncovered, for the last 15 minutes of the cooking time. The time will vary,
depending on the tenderness of the okra. Remove the bay leaves.

Serve immediately or let cool completely and store in freezer containers.

Yield: 10 servings
