Sauted Tomatoes with Okra and Bacon

Includes: Bacon, Heirloom Tomatoes, Okra, Onion, Tomatoes

Ingredients

5 slices bacon, diced

4 c. okra, washed, trimmed, and sliced 1/2-inch thick (about 1 lb.; I found
fresh okra at the farmers’ market this past weekend)

1 large onion, cut into 1/3-inch wedges

1/2 tsp. salt, or more to taste

freshly ground black pepper

4 medium heirloom or garden tomatoes, or cherry tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch
wedges (about 2 1/2 cups)

 

Instructions

Cook the bacon in a large skillet until crisp (do not drain). Add the sliced okra to the skillet,
and cook, stirring frequently, over moderate heat for 10 minutes. Add the onion
wedges, salt, and pepper, and continue cooking, still stirring, for 5 minutes.

Toss in the tomato wedges, and reduce the heat to low. Cook, just until
tomatoes are heated through, 3-4 minutes. Carefully taste for seasoning, and
adjust if needed. Serve warm.
