Tips:

  • Soak the okra in water for 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to reduce the okra's sliminess.
  • Cook the okra and tomatoes over medium heat. High heat will cause the okra to become tough and slimy.
  • Add spices and herbs to taste. Common spices and herbs that pair well with okra and tomatoes include garlic, onion, cumin, coriander, paprika, and chili powder.
  • Serve okra and tomatoes as a side dish or main course. They can also be used in soups, stews, and casseroles.
