Instructions
- Using a medium to large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and onion. Sauté for 3 minutes then add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds more.
- Add the okra and stewed tomatoes. Stir and let simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until the okra is tender. You can half over the skillet with a lid to speed up the cooking, just be careful to stir a little more often.
- Once cooked give the okra a taste test to see if you want to add more cajun seasoning or salt and pepper. (I did not add salt because the cajun seasoning has a lot already.) Serve immediately.
Notes
