Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh okra
  • 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup sweet onion chopped
  • 1 clove garlic finely chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  • Trim the tips from the okra and slice into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft and translucent, 2 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and continue cooking until fragrant, 1 minute longer.
  • Add the okra to the pan and sauté, stirring frequently, until tender, 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes, season to taste with salt and pepper and continue cooking just long enough for the tomatoes to soften.
  • Add butter and toss the mixture until the butter melts.
  • Serve immediately.
