Braised Okra with Tomatoes

I was so hungry for okra and this really hit the spot. I lucky to find some nice fresh okra. You carefully trim it and then pour vinegar over it and let it sit for 30 minutes. But since it isn't covered with the vinegar, I stirred it frequently. Then it is rinsed and added to fried onions and garlic, add canned tomatoes and simmer. It said to be careful not to boil and I was trying to time it to be ready with the rest of the meal and at the specified time, it was not tender and the sauce had reduced too much, so I added more water and really boiled it and finally had the perfect dish. I only had red onion and really liked it in this dish.
