--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   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.
