Cooked this recipe as a vegan. Sauteed 2 field roast vegan sausages then followed the recipe up to the chicken stock and added 2 veggie bouillon cubes. Otherwise did all as indicated. It was AMAZING. Yum.

This was delicious! I made only 2 minor changes. 1. I used a can of fire roasted diced tomatoes instead of just plain diced. 2. Instead of sugar, I used the same amount of brown sugar. Will keep this recipe on file for future use, as I call it, a Keeper!

I went looking for okra recipies because my wife brought home a big bag of okra from work, and I had no idea how to prepare it. I read the recipies for both fried okra and okra with tomatoes, and decided on the fried okra. I used corn meal to coat the okra, and fried it in peanut oil, and my fried okra was bland, boring and I really didn't like it. I decided to try the tomato based recipe tonight, because I had plenty of okra left over after last night's disappointment. The result from this recipe was amazing! I know that bacon makes almost everything better, and I now also know that tomato and okra are a perfect pairing of two very different types of vegetables (okay, a fruit and a vegetable. If, like me, you are looking for a way to use okra, try this recipe first. If you have never had okra before, go out and buy some and try this recipe. Paula has done it again with another easy and wonderful dish made out of basic and inexpensive ingredients.
