Quick and Easy Stewed Okra

• 1 (16-ounce) package frozen sliced okra, or 1 pound fresh okra, stems trimmed and sliced
• 1 large onion, coarsely chopped
• 1 bell pepper, coarsely chopped
• 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, with juices
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 1 teaspoon Essence, recipe follows
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Special equipment: pressure cooker

1. Combine all ingredients in a pressure cooker and bring to a simmer over high heat.
2. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 10 minutes.
3. Uncover and stir well.
4. Cover the pot again and continue to cook at medium-low heat for 5 to 10 minutes longer, or until the vegetables are just tender.
5. Note: This dish is even better if made a day in advance or if left to sit awhile after cooking to allow the flavors to blend.
