Ingredients

 * 1 onion, chopped
 * ½ green pepper, diced
 * 2 ribs celery, diced
 * 1 garlic clove, minced
 * 1 lbs okra, sliced, fresh, frozen
 * 1 lbs tomatoes, fresh, or canned
 * 2 cup corn, fresh, frozen, canned
 * 1 tsp vegetable bouillon granules
 * ½ cup white grape juice
 * ½ cup water
 * ¼ tsp Tabasco sauce
 * ¼ tsp paprika
 * 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
 * 1 tbsp basil or rosemary, minced
 * vegetable coating spray

Directions

 * 1) Method: in a large heavy stew pot, place bouillon and ½ cup white grape juice, onion, green pepper, celery garlic, cook until tender, 5 – 7 minutes.
 * 2) Add other ingredients, cook over low heat, stirring occasionally to keep from sticking to bottom.
 * 3) Cover and simmer gently until corn and okra are done (or simmer in crockpot 6 – 7 hours) Note: cut fresh corn from cob with a sharp knife, then scrape the remaining corn off the cob.
 * 4) Four ears will make about two cups.
 * 5) If you use dried herbs, rub them with the palms of your hands before adding to the pot, this releases their aroma and goodness.
