- Soak the okra for at least an hour before cooking in a large bowl filled with some water, white vinegar, and 1 tablespoon salt.

- Add the garlic and saute until fragrant about 1 or 2 minutes.
- Add the okra, tomato sauce, parsley, and water. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until tender, about 30 to 40 minutes depending on size. Be sure to monitor your liquid levels in the pot and add a bit of water if needed.

- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste and serve.
