Notes

I think the notes people include in their recipes make them more personal. If I write a note myself about a recipe, it will always be written in purple.

Spicy Africa-Style Okra

Spicy Africa-Style Okra

1 1/2 lb. okra, sliced in 1/3 -inch disks
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
2 large, ripe tomatoes, diced
1 fresh hot chili (habanero, serrano or jalapeño), pierced with a fork
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper

Rinse sliced okra in a colander under hot water.
Heat oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot
but not smoking, then sauté onion, stirring, until golden, about 3 minutes.
Add tomatoes (including juice) and chilies and boil, stirring, until
tomatoes are softened and liquid is reduced by half, 5 to 10 minutes.
Add okra and cook, gently stirring, until okra is tender, about 5
minutes. Discard chilies and stir in salt and pepper.
