Spicy Okra Tomato Skillet Recipe

16 to 20 oz frozen cut okra, thawed
1 Tbsp cooking oil
1 medium sweet onion, rough chopped
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes (including juices)
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp kosher or sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Put the okra in a colander and let thaw and drain before cooking.

Get out a large heavy skillet, add oil, place over medium heat, then add the onion and cook until onion becomes slightly transparent.

Add tomatoes, stir, and bring mixture to a gentle bubble; cook slowly stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes.

Add in the okra, stir, then add the seasonings, stir, and simmer gently for about 5 minutes more, just until heated through. (Don't boil okra.)

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Serve hot in small bowls or on top of rice or biscuits.
