Okra, Tomato and Corn Saute

This is a really tasty vegetable side dish. It would go great with just about any meat dish, but I'd probably pair it with pork or beef and cornbread, or something similar.

This was another recipe I cut in half, approximately, just because I didn't want to end up with a whole bunch of veggies in containers in the fridge. Fannie says the whole serves six, so this was just right for 3.

You will need (to
serve 3):
1 tbsp. butter
1 small onion
1 small green pepper
1/2 lb okra
1 medium tomato
1/2 c. corn kernels
pinch of fresh oregano (dried if you don't have fresh)
salt & pepper to taste
Melt butter in cast iron skillet. Add onions and peppers, finely chopped. Cook 3-4 minutes, stirring often.

Add okra, cut in 1/2 inch pieces, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often.
Add tomato, chopped, along with corn and oregano. Cover and cook 10 mins over low heat.

 Add salt and pepper to taste and enjoy. This was so good. All the flavors blended really well, and you can alter the amounts of any of the veggies according to what you have.
