For a richer flavor, consider adding a strip of bacon, diced and cooked until crisp, along with the onions and garlic. A pinch of sugar can help balance the acidity of the tomatoes. Fresh okra can be substituted for frozen; simply adjust cooking time accordingly. Serve over rice, grits, or polenta for a complete and satisfying meal.
