Instructions: If possible use large black iron pot. Brown onion, okra and bell pepper in oil. Reduce fire to low heat; add garlic. Allow to cook until okra gets very dark and is no longer ropey. Stir often. Remove from heat and drain excess oil. Reheat and serve as a vegetable. Stewed or canned tomatoes may be added for variety. Also excellent when added to shrimp gumbo.
