Zubereitung von Okra Medley Great As A Side Or A Main Dish

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 teaspoon of your favorite spice blend (Cajun, Creole, or a custom blend).
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-8 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Wash, dry, and chop 1 pound of fresh okra into 1/2-inch thick rounds. *Important: Delay washing and chopping the okra until right before adding it to the pot to prevent it from becoming slimy.*
Add the chopped okra and 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped, to the pot. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the okra is tender-crisp.
**For a main dish:** Stir in 1 pound of smoked sausage (sliced), or 1 1/2 cups of cooked chicken or pork (cubed). Simmer for another 5 minutes to heat through.
**Optional:** Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can of black beans, rinsed and drained, for extra heartiness.
Serve hot over rice or your favorite grain. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
