Summary

Quick, easy, and comforting—this stovetop okra tastes like it's been stewed for hours , but it's actually ready in less than 15 minutes! Canned tomatoes with green chiles add flavor and spice, but you could use regular canned diced tomatoes as well. Use frozen okra, sliced or whole, or fresh (fresh will take longer to cook).
