  2. Add the okra and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes over medium-high heat.

  3. Season with salt, black pepper, and spices. Toss to coat.

  4. Add the crushed tomatoes and water. Stir to combine. Add the tomato slices on top. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat to low and cover most of the way (leave a little opening at the top). Let the okra simmer on low heat for 20 to 25 minutes or until the okra has softened. Add basil to taste

  5. Remove from heat and serve over rice or with warm pita bread.
