--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2       lb           Fresh okra
     1/2   c            Olive oil
   1       lg           Onion
   5       lg           Tomatoes -- peeled, seeded
   3       cl           Garlic -- halved
   1       ts           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 1 hour, or until okra is tender. Stir in
  lemon juice. Serve hot. I especially like this recipe using garden
  fresh ingredients.
