Colander, 10-inch heavy skillet
Ingredients
- 2 (10 ounce) packages frozen cut okra
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 fresh habanero pepper, pierced 3 times with a fork (if habanero is to hot use serrano or jalapeno chile instead)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Rinse okra in a colander under hot water.
(Rinsing okra gives it a cleaner taste and texture.) Heat oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onion, stirring until golden, about 3 minutes.
Add tomatoes (including juice) and chile and boil, stirring until tomatoes are softened and liquid is reduced by half, 5 to 10 minutes.
Add okra and cook, gently stirring, until okra is tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir in salt and pepper and discard chile.
