Description

it doesn't, don't buy it.

- 1⁄2 large bell pepper, chopped
- 2 ribs celery, sliced
- 1 lb fresh okra, stem end removed and sliced lengthwise
- 2 clv garlic, chopped
- 30 oz diced tomatoes

- 1⁄4 t cayenne pepper, or to taste
- generous grating fresh black pepper
- 1 t salt, or to taste

Instructions
Heat
a large non-stick skillet rubbed or sprayed lightly with olive oil.
When it's hot, add the onion, bell pepper, and celery and sauté for
about 3 minutes. Add the okra and garlic and cook, stirring, for about
5 minutes, until the okra is beginning to brown. Add the remaining
ingredients, reduce the heat, and cover. Cook for 10 more minutes.
