This is the first time I’ve tried growing okra.  The blossoms were a beautiful, delightful surprise.     I love okra fixed about any way, but especially in gumbo.

When I have onions, okra and tomatoes from my garden it’s quick and tasty to put them all together.  I searched several recipes which were basically the same.

None of them sauteed the okra with the onions, so I tried that technique.  The okra had a very nice texture cooked  that way.

After the okra was tender I added the tomatoes just long enough to heat them through.

It’s a delicious side dish with many possible variations.
