Fresh Stewed Okra and Tomatoes

We have certainly had a bountiful harvest from our garden this year. One of the dishes that I love to prepare from the garden is Fresh Okra and Tomatoes.  This is  a delicious dish that can be served by itself or to top a small bowl of rice.  I even sometimes use it as a base for soup.
