How to Make Tomokra Stewed Tomatoes And Okra

  1. Wash and trim 1 pound of okra. Slice into 1/2-inch rounds.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 medium chopped yellow onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add 2 minced cloves of garlic, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme (optional), and 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional) and cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Stir in 1 pound of okra, 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, and 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained).
  5. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 45-60 minutes, or until the okra is tender, stirring occasionally. The okra will break down as it simmers.
  6. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasonings as needed.
  7. If using, stir in 4 slices of cooked and crumbled turkey bacon.
  8. Serve hot. Garnish with extra bacon crumbles if desired.
