Preparation

Step 1
Wash the okra, whether fresh or frozen, well in cold water. If frozen is used, continue rinsing until the okra is defrosted. Drain well.
Step 2
Put the okra in a saucepan and add about ½-cup of cold water. Bring to the boil and cover. Let cook about seven minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, blend the tomatoes thoroughly in the container of a food processor or electric blender.
Step 4
Drain the okra and add the tomatoes, butter, salt and pepper to taste. Bring to the boil, partly cover and cook until okra is tender, about 10 minutes.
