6 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | pounds | Cut okra |
| 1 | large | Onion; chopped |
| 1 | large | Tomato; chopped |
| 1 | teaspoon | Lemon juice |
| 1 | teaspoon | Salt |
| ½ | teaspoon | Garlic powder |
| 3 | tablespoons | Vegetable shortening |
Directions
Place finely cut okra in shortening in heavy pot or skillet. Brown, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Add lemon juice (this prevents roping) and onion. Continue cooking & stirring until mixture has cooked down & is brown. Add tomato, salt & garlic powder. Place cover on pot & steam for 10 minutes. Okra will stick to pot & form a crust. Keep lifting & turning with spatula as it browns. Yields 6-8 servings.
