Preparation

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.
2. Put the okra in a saucepan and add about 1/2-cup of cold water. Bring to the boil and cover. Let cook about seven minutes.
3. Meanwhile, blend the tomatoes thoroughly in the container of a food processor or electric blender.
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.
