Buttered Okra

1 lb fresh okra
1 cup water
1/2 stick butter or margarine
1 tsp oil

In a pot, add the butter and salt to the water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the okra. Cover the pot and let the okra simmer for 8 to 10 minutes or just until tender. Stir occasionally to cook evenly.

Serves 4 to 6.
