--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2       lb           Fresh Okra
    1/2   c            Olive oil
  1       lg           Onion
  5       lg           Tomatoes, peeled, seeded
  3                    Cloved garlic, halved
  1       t            Sugar
                       Salt and pepper to taste
  1       tb           Lemon juice

 Wash okra and cut off any hard stems.  Blanch in
 salted water 3 minutes.

 Heat olive oil.  Add onion and cook until translucent.
 Add okra and cook until it begins to soften.  Add
 tomatoes, garlic, sugar, salt and pepper. Cook 2 to 3
 minutes.  Pour in enough water to cover.  Cover and
 simmer about one hour, or until okra is tender.  Stir
 in lemon juice. Serve hot. I especially like this
 recipe using garden fresh ingredients.
