Preparation:
Step 1:
Half-fill a large saucepan with cold water, and bring to a boil over high
heat. Stir in the okra, cook for 3 minutes, and drain well.
Step 2:
In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook the bacon over moderate heat for 5
minutes or until crisp, then transfer to paper towels and crumble. Pour off
all but 2 teaspoons of the drippings. Lower the heat, add the onion and
green pepper, and saute for 5 minutes or until tender.
Step 3:
Stir in the tomatoes and their liquid with the remaining ingredients. Cover
and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Return the okra to the
skillet, cover, and simmer 5 minutes longer or until tender. Sprinkle the
bacon on top.
