Okra - Corn - Tomatoes

Here is one of the standard summer Southern recipes when we had fresh vegetables. As you know, we no longer have to wait until summer to enjoy this meal so use the frozen stuff if you wish.

2 cups fresh corn (or frozen)
1 14 to 16 oz can diced tomatoes with juice
1 small onion, grated
1 tbs firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 lb fresh or frozen okra, trimmed and cut into 1/2 inch slices

In a heavy saucepan combine corn, tomatoes with juice, onion, brown sugar, salt, pepper on medium heat and simmer 2 minutes. Stir in okra and simmer, covered for 5 to 7 minutes, or until is tender.

Serves 4.
