Creole Ratatouille

Wednesday, Feb. 10 is Ash Wednesday, the start  of Lent. So, I thought I would post a couple of Vegetable dishes. This dish can be used as a side or main dish.

2 tablespoons Butter

1 1/2 cups Onions, sliced

2 cups fresh baby Okra, sliced

1 large ripe Creole Tomato, sliced

4 drops Tabasco

1/2 teaspoon Basil

1/4 teaspoons Chives

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground Black Pepper

3/4 teaspoon Salt

1/4 teaspoon Sugar

In a heavy skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the onions and cook until soft and beginning to brown. Add the sliced okra and cook, stirring frequently, for  minutes. Add the tomatoes and the remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. Cook slowly, stirring frequently, for  minutes longer, then cover the skillet tight, lower the heat, and cook for  minutes. Serve very hot.

Enjoy!!!
