CLASSIC OKRA AND TOMATOES
Okra and tomatoes are a centuries-old pairing. It's a remarkable union of late-summer flavors that comes from using peak-season produce: vibrant fresh-picked okra and plump ripe tomatoes still firm enough to hold their shape when simmered.

Growing up with Grand Parents who lived off the land in Southern Louisiana, we had a lot of fresh vegetables. Nothing is more comforting in my book than smothered okra and tomatoes. My Grand Mother always started hers by browning the onions in bacon drippings, but I tried to make mine a little healtier. I like this dish served...

Steps:
- In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook bacon until the bacon is starting to get crispy and the fat is rendered, about 5 minutes.
- Add the onion and garlic; saute for 5 more minutes.

- Add the okra, cover with a lid, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the okra is tender (about 10-12 minutes for fresh okra or 7-8 minutes for frozen okra).
- Remove the bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.

SMOTHERED OKRA AND TOMATOES
I love okra !! yummy. This Recipe has come from watching my aunt as I was a little girl making this delicious concoction, the smell of this cooking oh my!! This recipe comes from south Louisiana, If you have some okra lovers, I suggest doubling this recipe. Also this recipe can be used with squash instead of okra, it is just as delicious as the okra!!! Just don't use the tomatoes with the squash, not unless you would like it that way, but do try the squash once without the tomatoes.
